I have a giveaway usb stick and when I plug it into my computer and run lsblk
it shows two block devices, i.e. sdb
and sdc
. sdb
of them contains almost all the free space ( ~15G) and the sdc
one is very small (32M) and contains stuff like images of the company who gave the usb stick away.
I would like to get rid of the sdc
one (more out of curiosity). However, these are apparently not partitions on the same hard drive (otherwise lsblk would show something like sdb1
and sdb2
, right?).
Last but not least I can't even run fdisk /dev/sdc
as it's apparently a Read-only file system
.
Can I get rid of this sdc
device or at least wipe it clean. And what are the inner workings of this? Is sdc
a second physical drive?
lsusb
gives the same output whether or not the usb stick is plugged in. Am I missing something here? – xel Jan 16 '19 at 17:40
