"lsblk" sees flash drive but "fdisk -l" does not
Hello,
I am trying to format my flash drive, but running "sudo fdisk /dev/sdf" returns Code:
fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sdf: Invalid argument Code:
sdf 8:80 1 7.5G 0 disk Some research led to a suggestion to run "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/usb* | grep sd" which in addition to other "sdX" results, returns: Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jun 13 10:47 /dev/usb-Generic_Flash_Disk_F0D5D7B5-0:0 -> ../../sdf Code:
usb_storage 62062 0 |
Which kernel do you have? 3.4 was known to act in this strange manner with USB drives.
To find out which kernel: Code:
uname -a |

Yup. Are you able to upgrade that, preferably to a LTS kernel that is not EOL, say 4.4.x or 4.9.x, even 3.16.x? Don't throw away the old one - you'll need a fallback if the new kernel doesn't "take".

I'll keep this troubleshooting step in mind for next time though! |
