I've been getting a strange error messages when looking at some 8
GB flash drives from different manufacturers purchased months apart.
There is a title bar at top saying "Libparted Warning (as superuser).
The body of the message box has:
1. an Exclamation point surrounded by orange and yellow triangle.
2. a message text saying "The driver descriptor says the
physical block
size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.
3. There are two buttons present.
One saying "Cancel"
The other saying "Ignore"
On today's drive:
1. I clicked "Cancel" then dismissed several boxes the gist of
whose messages
was that what I had started had not been done.
2. The entire drive is shown as "allocated".
3. Clicking on "New" yields message saying "No partition table
found ..."
4.I attempt to create partition table and get the "block
sector size" message.
5. Chose "ignore"
6. Apparently then able to create a single 8 GB partition.
Any suggestions as to the problem's origin? I've no way to
establish the history of the drive.
Any reason to expect future problems?
TIA
