Description: I have a 512MB usb stick which is 2048 bytes in a hardware sector. I use fdisk to partition it, then format it as a 512MB FAT32 successful. But use cfdisk to partition it, it create a invalid usb partition with 2G bytes.


Additional info:
* package version(s) util-linux-ng 2.13.0.1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. clean the partition by fdisk
2. use cfdisk to create full usb stick as a FAT32 partition.
3. use fdisk to look it, we'll found it is incorrect.

By the way, the 2.14 of util-linux-ng has release for months, but seems nobody to upgrade it?
This task depends upon
