Description Tony Blackwell 2017-09-09 01:05:40 CEST
Description of problem:

USB memory sticks with mageia iso dd'd onto them are not visible in MCC.  The relevant device /dev/sd(x) is not shown.  It is however automounted in /run/media/tony/, and 'mount' in my case shows it as /dev/sdk1.

I think this has been the case for a long time, if somewhat erratic in its appearance. Discussion just now in qa-discuss has had a confirmation (from Len).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: always in M6


Steps to Reproduce:plug it in

Just looking at the memory stick partitioning of this M6 iso with fdisk, I see 

Device      Boot Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdk1p1 *        0 7624703 7624704  3.7G  0 Empty
/dev/sdk1p2       2712   10903    8192    4M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)

Related in any way?

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
