I follow the instruction on https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu except I use a SD-card to flash.

When I use fdisk and parted to investigate the result of the flashed SD-card I get two very different results. Both results are very weird:

jarl@hermes:~$ sudo LANG=C fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

1. 
   parted gives a warning (that I don't understand) that fdisk doesn't. Any explanation?


2. 
   fdisk shows that partition 2 (the EFI one) starts in the middle of partition 1 (ISO image)


3. 
   parted seem not to show the correct start and end of partition 1


4. 
   parted seem not to show the correct end of partition 2

Can anyone explain the above differences? I belive that parted is quite buggy, and that fdisk information is correct, but then again it shows overlapping partitions.
