My computer is Acer C720, its OS is current Arch Linux.
The Kindle has 4GB total storage, which includes 2.8GB user storage, can't tell you its model no. right now. Purchased new from Amazon Digital Services.

This shows on the computer via cfdisk as Unassigned free space, the 1.2GB system space is hidden, does not show at all.

Rebooting makes no difference, nor did using the device to download items from Kindle store (they appear in my Library in the Kindle, but to the computer they do not exist).

I believe this is the exact same model as I lost, in which the user space was always available as a 2.8GB FAT32 partition, originally containing 4 directories, Documents...etc
