USB Flash Drive gets recognized as two block devices
So I was searching through some old flash drives, plugged one in, and saw this:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sdb 8:16 1 3.7G 0 disk
sdc 8:32 1 78.2M 1 disk
└─sdc1 8:33 1 78.2M 1 part
I verified that these two block devices belonged to the same device by unplugging the USB drive and both of them disappeared, and also the fact that fdisk showed "Disk model: Flash Disk" for both block devices.
/dev/sdb is writable, however /dev/sdc and its partition is read-only.
I tried mount -o rw /dev/sdc1, but it still was read-only, so I'm guessing the firmware is forcing it to be read-only.
I checked /dev/sdc1, and it seemed to contain advertisements for a hotel in Berlin.
Is it possible to somehow make these two block devices show up as one, either by some tool or firmware level hackery?
