Someone is wrong. Either the device was partitioned wrong and hence formated wrong, or whatever driver the kernel is using to read it is broken and returns the wrong size for the device. I have never heard of /dev/tfa0p* either.

Sure makes it look like a driver error on the linux side in that case. Len Sorensen
