i would double check your formatting and partitions, the 08:01 indicates
the first block device partition 1. my guess is that you have a small
partition and a filesystem that thinks it is larger than the partition it
is stored on

this is most likely caused by formatting the disk then partitioning it
with a tool like fdisk. i would recommend you try (if possible) wiping
the disc, partitioning it and then formatting the disk again

if i remeber my device names corectly this should be /dev/sda or
/dev/sda1 for the first partition
