What does the tail of dmeg say? I believe that's where you will see the initial kernel and udev activity. > My first instinct was that I got taken for a ride so I hopped over to a colleague's Windoze machine, but there the USB drive is visible (with the capacitty of 15.2 GiB, as expected). One comment here... I understand the counterfits have an additional chip or logic that misreports the size. The real problems do not surface until you actually try to use the space. So plugging the usb drive in may not be enough to validate the drive. Instead, you want to write a 12 TB or 14 TB of data to ensure it's not a 256 GB or 1 TB drive. > So, is there anything special that I have to do to mount it on Fedora 40, because of its size?
