Hi Israel,
1. Please show what is confusing, for example attach a screendump, and I'll try to make it less confusing! 2. The bug: please show with words, screendumps, and command line output - how mkusb sees the space of the USB drive, and how it should be seen! - the output of sudo parted -l sudo fdisk -lu sudo blkid sudo lsblk and this command (should be one line) ls -l /dev/disk/by-id| grep [a-z]$|cut -d ' ' -f 10,12|sort -k2|grep -e \^a -e \^u|sed 's#../..#/dev#' Maybe you can to put the output into an attached file to a reply here or in a reply post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958073 or upload it somewhere else, whichever method is convenient for you Thanks for testing :-) Best regards Nio Den 2014-07-27 00:49, Israel skrev: > Hey Nio! > First impressions are GREAT! > There are 2 issues I found. > 1.
