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?
