I've come across this a few times but never understood *why* accessing an
empty disk I've linked RR should fail (rc=28, iirc). Any good reason for
that?
And any way to *prevent* it from failing? (I'm not after the files I'm after
the disk stats I can only get when the disk is accessed.)

Since there are no files to access, and no possibility to add files,
One other trick or tactic is to put a file (very frequently called
DUMMY FILE, or if you're more clever, Dummy File) that is 1 block
with a single line of anything in it. Using the mixed case file name
makes it a little harder to erase and it allows a successful read only
access.

: ACCESS empty RR disk fails
The disk can have files but if they are all MODE 0, you do not get to
ACCESS it either.
