Segmentation Fault in gparted since tce-update

[aus9]

I have got problems with 4x gparted and fdisk

Code: [Select]

sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdb: 17.1 GB, 17095983104 bytes
92 heads, 57 sectors/track, 6367 cylinders, total 33390592 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

whats my main problem?
Its a new  EIGHT G  USB  stick

AFAIK they don't make 18G sticks

but internal drive is correct

Hi aus9
It's a 16Gbyte USB stick. With memory devices a Giga byte is 1024*1024*1024. Multiply that by 16 and see what you get.

I did not trust it when it fdisk reported it as 17.1 GB
so I elected to try 2 different live dvds each gave a diff number
so

Code: [Select]

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1reboot create a fresh msdos table
still reports greater than 16G

only cost $6 so its now consigned for non-TC use

2) just bought a better brand 16G and it reports

Code: [Select]
