Counterfeit thumb drives

["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

Heads up folks. There's a report on the Fedora mail list that
counterfeit Kingston and Sandisk thumb drives have appeared in Southeast
Asia. Stuff like that can find its way to E-Bay fairly easily these
days.

These drives may be marked as 8 GB and appear to be that size the first
time they're plugged into a Windows box. On subsequent insertions they
appear to have true capacities 4 GB (plus or minus).
