Hi folks, In kernels 3.4 and 3.4.2, the kernel gets the size of my pen drives wrong: it thinks they're EB[1] in size, when they're actually only 4GB and 8GB. This issue is not present in the 3.3 kernel. I was wondering if any one else is facing the same issue? The bug is filed here[2]. As a result, I cannot use stuff like fdisk on my system too. It complains: > [root@ankur ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb > Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.21.2). > > Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. > Be careful before using the write command. > > > WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. > > > WARNING: The size of this disk is 1122759.7 TB (18302628885633696256 bytes). > DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes > larger than (2199023255040 bytes) for 512-byte sectors. Use parted(1) and GUID > partition table format (GPT). > > fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sdb: Invalid argument > [root@ankur ~]# It even prevents me from creating USB fedora installers: > [root@ankur ~]# dd if=/home/ankur/Downloads/torrents/rtorrent_completed/Fedora-17-ISOs/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=8M > dd: writing `/dev/sdb': No space left on device > 1+0 records in > 0+0 records out > 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.105326 s, 0.0 kB/s > [root@ankur ~]# dd worked flawlessly with the 3.3 kernel. I now have only one 3.3 kernel left on my system. Another broken 3.4 kernel will mean I get stuck with this bug. I've increased the installonly_limit in yum.conf to keep 3.3 around for the time being. Any hints/fixes? :) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exabyte [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831807 -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/
