Bug Description
Formatting a 16gig USB stick using 'USB Stick Formatter' or 'GParted' then copied a 12 gig partition using dd as follows:
dd if=/dev/sdd1 of=/dev/sdc1 bs=512
dd reports that there is no more room after 4.8GB and stops
Put same stick in a Windows 8 laptop
Windows requests that the disk is formatted straight away (this may be a side effect of the failed dd but anyway!)
Format as NTFS using Windows 8
Returned to Linux
22525952+0 records in
22525952+0 records out
11533287424 bytes (12 GB) copied, 3366.71 s, 3.4 MB/s
Success!
Not sure what this is but I thought I should raise it.
I have had some issues formatting SD cards in the past and always find Windows formatter to be safer!
Keep up the good work
