Hi,
As supplied the SD cards are intended to work with Windows.  Under Linux
only root can write to them and the ownership can not be changed.  I 
want

preserve permissions of data written to the card.


I don't follow above. SD cards usually come with a vfat file system and
are indeed set up mainly for Windoze. But if you mount with
-o uid=someone,gid=someone,..
then that someone user can write.

I do this all the time with a whole variety of sdhc cards. I only leave
them formated for vfat if I need to move them between other devices
(cameras, sat navs, ereaders which only read and write vfat). Otherwise
I use a better file system.

Hi,
I recall a lot of discussion about this on either this list or the 
Debian list.  If the card was an offbrand I would assume it was fraud 
and would not have even asked here.  However, the card is a SanDisk. The 
packaging becomes destroyed in removing the card so I can't take it back 
to Walfart for exchange.


I would like to try the f3 program.  How do I get the tarball from github?

You said above that you use a better filesystem for the sdhc cards. Have 
you done that for a card over 32GB?  And how?


Best regards,
Fred

Hi,

The f3probe utility says:

Good news:  The device /dev/sdb is the real thing

And then it reports the same size as fdisk, 27.48GB usable even though 
the card is plainly marked 64GB.


So, my question has been answered.  Thanks for the help!

Best regards,
Fred

A couple things come to mind.  Yes, it could be an acutal 32 GB card
that was designed to appear as 64 GB (as was already mentioned).
Another possibility: is it an issue with the "Card-Reader" device?
Check the card in another computer or with a different card reader, does
it still appear 32 GB?
One other possibility (but less likely IMO), if the card is put back
into Windows machine, does it appear as 64 GB?

I only have one usb-sd card reader.  They don't cost much so I may order 
another.


I don't use Bill Gates' cancerous, virus infested scourge of the Earth

What's the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sdX"?

Have you tried wiping the partition table and creating a new one?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=10M count=10

Then use fdisk as usual - it will prompt you to create a new table.

What is the existing partition table?

Out of interest, since this is ext4 and therefore Linux (not Windows), why 
partiton at all?  Why not just "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX"?

What's the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sdX"?

Have you tried wiping the partition table and creating a new one?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=10M count=10

Then use fdisk as usual - it will prompt you to create a new table.

[DNG] fdisk SD card partitioning question

2022-06-12 Thread Fred

Hello,

I have some directories I want to back up to an SD card while preserving 
the permissions.  I have tried to repartition a 64GB card and write an 
ext4 filesystem.


fdisk says the card has 124702720 sectors and has 59.5GB available. 
However it will not make a partition over 27.5GB.  Why and what to do?


Best regards,
Fred
