The value in the log should be the total capacity, not just what's available in the filesystem. If the camera reserves some of that memory for its own use then the capacity might show up as less than 256 MB; otherwise I don't know why it should be any smaller. On the other hand, since the camera crashes when the computer tries to read the last sector, maybe the capacity should really be reported as 494080 sectors. > > The problem > > occurs when the computer tries to read sector 494080, which should be the > > last one. > > only knows about 1K blocks. Maybe the block layer isn't involved here. _What_ only knows about 1K blocks? Not the camera -- it's reporting that it uses 512-byte sectors. And you're right that the block layer isn't involved at this point; the error occurs while the general disk driver is trying to read the partition table.
