Here diskdrake has only had problems with USB-keys on which isos had been dumped, not with other USB-keys. As a workaround, you can use isodumper to format USB-keys which aren't shown by diskdrake, see: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/IsoDumper_Writing_ISO_images_on_USB_sticks#Formatting

Is it still valid in Mageia 7, Cauldron ? 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) within 3 weeks from 2020-08-05. 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. -- Mageia Bugsquad
