# parted -l #gets this right
Model: USB 2.0 (HS) Flash Disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sde: 2053MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop

Number  Start  End     Size    File system  Flags
 1      0.00B  2053MB  2053MB  fat32

But fdisk -l tears into territory it shouldn't.

# fdisk -l /dev/sde

Disk /dev/sde: 2052 MB, 2052547072 bytes
64 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1010 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3968 * 512 = 2031616 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6f20736b

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sde1   ?      196103      483782   570754815+  72  Unknown
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(357, 116, 40) logical=(196102, 51, 11)... [many more lines].

fdisk needs to learn some manners from parted about the newer "loop"
partition tables, and not just munch along oblivious.
