Good evening, background ========== In the wikipedia article about USB Flash drives, it says ("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive#Counterfeit_products") ------ Counterfeit USB flash drives are sometimes sold with claims of having higher capacities than they actually possess. These are typically low-capacity USB drives with modified flash memory controller firmware that emulates larger capacity drives (for example, a 2 GB drive being marketed as a 64 GB drive). When plugged into a computer, they report being the larger capacity they were sold as, but when data is written to them, either the write fails, the drive freezes up, or it overwrites existing data. Software tools exist to check and detect fake USB drives,[46][47] and in some cases it is possible to repair these devices to remove the false capacity information and use its real storage limit. ------ A footnote leads me to believe that a tool "H2testw" could detect bad sticks and maybe fix them.
question ======== I tried man, dnf, and dnfdragora to find H2testw. Nothing. I also tried to find something else to test and fix sticks. Nothing. What do we have for this purpose either already installed or that I can get via dnf? -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
