Bug ID: 1290789
Summary: Preparing Boot Media instructions result in The driver
descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes,
but Linux says it is 512 bytes.
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Severity: medium
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: pcfe(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co
Description of problem:
Following the instructions of
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/se...
results in a USB stick where the remaining space is not usable.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Installing Fedora 23 on 32 and 64-bit AMD and Intel
Edition 1
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. read the F23 Preparing Boot Media instructions
2. dd if=Fedora-Live-Security-x86_64-23-10.iso of=/dev/sdl
3. unplug and re-plug drive
4. gnome-disks
5. (within gnome-disks UI) unmount any partition of /dev/sdl that may have been
mounted by the desktop environment
6. try to use the remaining space (31GB in my case) by creating a slice
(luks+ext4 in this case)
Actual results:
Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but
Linux says it is 512 bytes.
Expected results:
Install instructions result in a LIVE USB image that is bootable on BIOS and
UEFI
and remaining space of USB disk can be reclaimed.
Additional info:
Same result if, instead of dd, I use gnome-disks' Restore Disk Image option.
