For the records (as Richard obviously knew it already): After the run of make_isombr_part, the new partition has no filesystem. The commands mkfs or mkdosfs would be the next step, or some GUI tool for managing disk partitions. The purpose of make_isombr_part is two-fold: - Make the partitioning as normal as possible by removing APM and GPT. This shall keep the usual partition editors from hating the stick. - Compensate for the remaining flaw of partition 2 sitting inside partition 1 by adding a preliminary MBR partition up to the given block address or up to the device end. One may well try to manage the stick by a partition editor. But if everything else fails, this partition is better than nothing. > Disk /dev/sdb: 7.2 GiB, 7746879488 bytes, 15130624 sectors And what did the merchants write in their advertising ? 8 GB ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
