8 GB Flash Card
After reading a thread here I've bought a couple of 8 Gb flash cards, along with 4 Gb and 2 Gb cards.
In the Device Manager it shows 3.82 Gb of free space for both the 4 Gb card and both of the 8 Gb cards (none of which have data on them). Is this a bug in the new software, or is that the limit of storage? |

It seems that iLiad only supports up to 4GB of memory, so the rest is unused ... Funny I was looking at buying a 4GB CF card as well, but lucky I read the Wiki first. |

Yesterday I was trying a A-Data 8GB CF and content lister also showed 4GB but running a "df -k ." into "/media/cf" with Mrxvt it reported 8GB
If you have shell access and Mrxvt try it. |

It is a bug only of the display.
I am using 16GB CF with the files that exceeds 10GB, and all files can read. |

Just kidding, I'm finding it very interesting. I first agree with one of you, then the other, then back again. |
