Early USB-3 was problematic. Have you used USB memory sticks before? There have been cheap USB sticks that advertise a much higher capacity than they actually provide.
I've been using USB sticks for several years, and USB-3.0 sticks for a few years. For this, I'm using 32 GB Samsung USB-3.1 sticks. Samsung is one of the good brands, right? On 5/28/23 10:21 PM, Tim via users wrote:
It could just be /that/ USB stick. Did you have another to try?
After posts from Tim and George, I did more "experiments": 0. At the start, stick_1 has "mt86plus_6.20_64.iso" on it. stick_2 has "Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso" on it, but in pieces. 1. I used Fedora Media Writer to put "mt86plus_6.20_64.iso" on stick_2; no hint of trouble. I tested it in both USB-3 ports; it worked fine. 2. I used Fedora Media Writer to put Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso" on stick_1; no hint of trouble. I tested it in the left USB-3 port; it failed. I tested it in the right port; it succeeded. 3. I used Fedora Media Writer to put "mt86plus_6.20_64.iso" on stick_1; no hint of trouble. I tested it in both USB-3 ports; it worked fine. 4.

I tested it in the right port; it succeeded. It seems that the problem is not /that/ stick. memtest consistently working in both ports and on both sticks suggests to me that neither the ports nor the sticks are at fault. But Fedora Live behaves inconsistently. All that entropy talk in the user's list recently: might some of that entropy be infecting Fedora Live? (just kidding) On 5/29/23 7:01 AM, George N.

... You can mount the iso Linux and use cmp to check for files that differ between .iso and USB.
My Downloads directory (from which the copy to the sticks comes) has one .iso file; the stick has a few folders and several files. How would I do that cmp? With Fedora Live apparently working adequately if the stick is in the right port, the original goal is satistied. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
