Hi, I think there is a need to fix and reconcile lsblk with fdisk, cfdisk, etc, as demonstrated on example of usb flash drive, shown as /dev/sdb device. $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 37.3G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 20G 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 1.5G 0 part [SWAP] ├─sda3 8:3 0 13.4G 0 part / ├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part └─sda5 8:5 0 2.4G 0 part sdb 8:16 1 7.3G 0 disk └─sdb1 8:17 1 683M 0 part sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom $ Where does sr0's size of 1024M come from ? $ lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sda ├─sda1 ext4 38b23ec9-4947-46ae-a2b2-d48f4582af3f ├─sda2 swap 8074aa4f-489e-4adc-a356-ff09d633534f [SWAP] ├─sda3 ext4 d067602d-f15d-49c0-abad-865adab2cc8f / ├─sda4 └─sda5 ext4 4f168c8f-ac1d-4048-ac3f-254fa4392c60 sdb iso9660 Test 2014-07-22-17-24-48-12 └─sdb1 iso9660 Test 2014-07-22-17-24-48-12 sr0 $ The line sdb iso9660 Test should be consistent with sda and show sdb The line └─sdb1 iso9660 Test should be reconciled with what fdisk, etc show. # fdisk -l /dev/sdb ...
