:Thanks for the hint, but actually I was trying to fdisk a USB stick.
:Kernel says the following when I plug it in:
:
:umass1: ChipsBnk Flash Disk, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3
:da0 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0
:da0: <ChipsBnk Flash Disk 4.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
:da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
:da0: 1010MB (517375 2048 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 252C)
:(da0:umass-sim1:1:0:0): SYNCHRONIZE CACHE. CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
:(da0:umass-sim1:1:0:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0
:(da0:umass-sim1:1:0:0): Medium not present

:In case it helps, I'll attach complete dmesg output.

Hmm. Well, fdisk tries to autosense the sector size but I guess
it isn't working as expected.
Try this patch.
