And the device really has the 4 GB: debian105:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda dd: writing to `/dev/sda': No space left on device 8376322+0 records in 8376321+0 records out 4288676352 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 4145.71 seconds, 1.0 MB/s debian105:~# And no error was encountered while doing this dd write. Neither in dmesg, nor in kern.log. Everything was fine. Reading also fine: debian105:~# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null 8376321+0 records in 8376321+0 records out 4288676352 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 4128.19 seconds, 1.0 MB/s debian105:~# No strange messages in any of the logs while doing that. Also I consider it unlikely that these sticks are bad, because the same happens on both ot them. I bought them on these Internet auctions: http://allegro.pl/item203519391_203519391.html http://allegro.pl/item201343628_pendrive_4_gb_od_1_zl_.html As you can see the first one was a multi-item fixed price sale of 20 of such sticks, and many people bought these, some of whom already given positive comments. The seller has 100% of positive comments, many of which from sale of the same type of USB sticks. I would contact the seller if only one of the sticks was bad - well, that could happen, but would he give me two different bad sticks? Both where bought from the same seller. -- Miernik http://miernik.name/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
