I've been using parted to deal with external drives (flash and hard) for ages. Recently I started getting strange crap after I do a blkdiscard on a flash stick or after I wipe the first 4MiB with dd on said flash stick.
| Code: |
parted -a optimal /dev/sdb

What's going on? It was blank, I created a label and a partition. Never seen this before, ever.
