Public bug reported: 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!
