Ian Bruntlett:
The flash drive is not being recognised. To quote GPartEd, "Unable to
detect file system!".

Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I have. I thought the device was broken.

Please open a new report about it, and I will confirm and triage it for
you.

Thanks 👍

Hi Alberto,

This is by intention: This way to create USB boot drives, cloning, is
very robust, and it solves the long-lasting problem of bugs that has
plagued the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator (I think since 2011, Ubuntu
10.10 was still good).

There are other things to consider:

- this kind of boot drive is read-only [1]

- it is more complicated to restore a standard storage drive [2,3]

- there is no way to create a persistent live drive built into this
Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator. (So users who want that must use other
tools, for example [4].

Hi again,

Or are you suggesting to file a bug against gparted? Then I am with you :-)

Best regards

Hi Ian and Alberto,

*Done*

I created the bug report #1622313, "gparted does not recognize the iso9660 file system in cloned Ubuntu USB boot drives"

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1622313

I did it from Xenial daily 'looking at' its own iso file as cloned.

Please mark 'affects me too', if it affects you. It would also be valuable to check in other versions of Ubuntu, particularly in Trusty alias 14.04.x LTS, because many people will install fresh Xenial systems from old Trusty systems.

Best regards
Nio
