My question is: Which parameter can set the total space of my 8G pendrive?
Why the space is limited in 7075?
The 8G advertised by the vendor is 8*10^9 bytes. I believe the sizes
above are in MiB (2^20 bytes). 8GB is only 7629 MiB. Then as mentioned
previously, a chunk of that needs to be used for file system overhead.
