--- Begin Message ---Package: gparted Version: 0.25.0-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Have put a hybrid iso image (debian stretch installer) onto usb flashdrive with dd. Then, started gparted and selected the flashdrive. Warning message: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. Disk block size reported by hdparm is 512 bytes physical / 512 logical. Wrong disk size calculated by gparted. lsblk reports correct disk size of ~4gb, gparted reports ~16gb. * What outcome did you expect instead? gparted reports the same disk size as lsblk. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gparted depends on: ii libatkmm-1.6-1v5 2.24.2-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libglibmm-2.4-1v5 2.50.0-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 1:2.24.5-1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1v5 2.40.1-3 ii libparted-fs-resize0 3.2-17 ii libparted2 3.2-17 ii libsigc++-2.0-0v5 2.10.0-1 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18 ii libuuid1 2.29.2-1 gparted recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---Package: gparted Version: 0.30.0-1 This was fixed upstream in GParted 0.28.0 [1] for bug [2] which recognised whole disk iso9660 file systems before the partition table embedded within. Thus not triggering this libparted warning: Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. and not thinking the sector size is incorrectly 2048 bytes. [1] 14 February 2017: GParted 0.28.0 https://gparted.org/news.php?item=207 [2] Bug 771244 - gparted does not recognize the iso9660 file system in cloned Ubuntu USB boot drives https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771244 According to the package changelog, gparted (0.30.0-1) is the first packaged version after upstream GParted 0.28.0 release. Closing this bug. Thanks, Mike Fleetwood (GParted Developer)
