Incorrect total capacity with SanDisk Extreme III 8GB Compact Flash card in Canon EOS 5D

[Bruno Girin]

Binary package hint: gphoto2

When connecting my Canon EOS 5D to my laptop, with an 8GB SanDisk Extreme III Compact Flash card in the camera, I get incorrect total capacity when querying through gphoto2 with the --summary or --storage-info flags, as demonstrated by the following output:

bruno@nuuk:~$ gphoto2 --summary
Detected a 'Canon:EOS 5D (normal mode)'.

If that can help, here is the output of gphoto2 --version:
