That's a legitimate question, but a better one(s) would be: 1) What's the output of "parted /dev/sdc"? 2) If the flash drive has a filesystem, is it mounted somewhere, or not? 3) What's the output of "smartctl -a /dev/sdc"? 4) What does show strace dd if=.../debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=64k 5) Can one be really sure that "/dev/sdc" is a flash drive?
