SD Card only fills halfway

[Joseph Kubik]

The only time I've seen that sort of goofie-ness the partition table
on my disk was cooked. I re-partitioned the whole thing and it got
better.

Along the lines of formating ext3, you might dd if=/dev/zero
of=/dev/foo and then make a new vfat on it?

Does /var/log/messages have any more information ?
