I have a 2GB usb flash drive: [root@gnu-2 hjl]# fdisk /dev/sdc The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 126976. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdc: 2080 MB, 2080374784 bytes 1 heads, 32 sectors/track, 126976 cylinders Units = cylinders of 32 * 512 = 16384 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 2 126976 2031600 b W95 FAT32 Command (m for help): I did # mke2fs -j /dev/sdc1 When I clicked its icon in file browser, it was mounted as ext2, kernel warned: EXT2-fs warning (device sdc1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2
I didn't reproduce this bug on fc9-alpha. The nautilus package is version 2.21.6-1.fc9. The system works well with usb flash driver. Ext3 partition I made was mounted as ext3. Writing and reading are both OK. No warning message shown up.
