Also check kernel log when the card is inserted via 'dmesg' in osso-xterm if 4G size is reported and also if there are any errors when the copy fails. It is very unlikely this is specific to card maker unless there are I/O errors reported in kernel log.
After having bought two Transcend 4GB SD cards (TS4GSDC) and having a lot of problems with data disappearing from my Nokia N800 (Mostly on the internal SD card on which the SWAP fs resides) I did some digging and followed your advice on the dmesg logs.


Nokia N800 Full Boot:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 3:1.1.3-3.osso17) Built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(My apologies for the layout)

As you can see both the 4GB SDC are recognized as 3921920KiB.

As seen here:
[ 3.722229] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SDC 3921920KiB
[ 3.722534] mmcblk0: p1
and here:
[ 3.975585] mmcblk1: mmc1:b368 SDC 3921920KiB
[ 3.975952] mmcblk1: p1
The only difference, in what I can find, is the voltage on the 2 cards.
I am not sure if it has something do with things, but here they are:
[ 3.725280] menelaus: Setting voltage 'VDCDC3' to 3300 mV (reg 0x07, val 0x39)
and:
[ 3.816375] menelaus: Setting voltage 'VDCDC3' to 2800 mV (reg 0x07, val 0x29)
So far my little "research".

I will continue testing with larger files on the SD cards but strange enough I haven't had any of the symptoms again since I formatted and wrote over the empty space and data on both of the cards.

Too bad I did not do a dmesg before while there were still problems.

The one thing are the different voltages (3300mV over 2800mV)
