Description of problem:

Whether inserted before or after mediawriter launch; whether partitioned and FAT formatted, or wipefs -a has been used, mediawriter does not recognize this Lexar USB stick for unknown reasons. No error messages.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mediawriter-4.0.7-0.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch mediawriter
2. Choose an image to write
3. Insert 2GiB Lexar USB stick

Actual results:

Kernel sees the stick, but mediawriter denies seeing any devices.


Expected results:

The image is 1.5GiB, the stick is 2GiB, it should be possible to write to this stick.
