This one is actually 8gigs in size only.

Comment 5 Nils Philippsen 2012-06-19 10:42:47 UTC
It's not even converting properly, 71776119061217281 512-byte logical blocks are 31.875 EiB (or 32640 PiB) plus 256 bytes. The number of logical blocks converted to binary is this (looks very suspicious):

11111111000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Comment 6 Piruthiviraj Natarajan 2012-06-19 11:08:22 UTC
I have had this issue in 3.3 kernel too. But erasing the MBR of the usb drive with Gparted, brought the usb disk back to sense.

Comment 7 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2012-06-19 12:52:46 UTC
It's a known issue and a patch has been written. Not yet included yet. 

Can we please have the patch in fedora until kernel upstream decides to merge it? It's quite a pain

Thanks,

Comment 8 Josh Boyer 2012-06-19 13:34:24 UTC
I'll look at it.

Comment 9 Josh Boyer 2012-06-19 13:52:55 UTC
Please test this scratch build when it completes and let us know if it works
