Which looks correct, so I'm not sure whats causing it to think partition 1 is 16GB, is there some kind of special casing for sdcards? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634005 Title: linux treats first partition on sdcard as much bigger than it really is? Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For some reason Linux (dd/mkfs.vfat/mkfs.ext4) treats the first partition of my sdcard as 16GB regardless of what fdisk says it should be. dd sees the other partitions as the correct size. Also if I run mkfs.vfat on the first partition it is treated as a fuse filesystem when mounted, it seems very strange. The whole card has been zeroed out so it shouldn't be an issue of some other weird data on the card. Pulling and reinserting the card after partitioning makes no difference. I have also included the fdisk bootsector dump at the end of this message.
