Public bug reported: Binary package hint: usb-creator
Steps to create problem: 1) I burned a copy of Apr-20-2009's daily-live build (Jaunty) onto a CD then booted from it. 2) I then reformated my 4GB OCZ Rally 2 Turbo USB Drive to Fat32. 3) Using a separate ISO of the Apr-20 Jaunty build, I tried creating a persistent live USB with the usb-creator. 4) At 17%, right when the program begins to write the persistent filesystem, usb-creator finishes immediately and successfully without writing the persistence files. Check) I confirmed that the OCZ usb works fine, but is NOT persistent after rebooting. The peculiarity in this bug is that when I tried with the above steps with my two Kingston Datatravelers (1GB and 2GB), the entire process works fine and the resulting usb's are both persistent. Thus I conclude that this issue is specific to the brand of usb. Notes: 1) When running the usb-creator, the program starts to write the persistent files at different times (different % completed) depending on the usb drive being written to. Probably just due to the different sizes of the drives. 2) The OCZ turbo finished the process extremely fast. I don't know if speed has anything to do with this problem. 3) The same problem occurs when writing different ISO's to the OCZ drive (Release Candidate, Apr-18 daily-live, Apr-19 daily-live) 4) Daily-lives can be found here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/ ** Affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: usb-creator Steps to create problem: 1) I burned a copy of Apr-20-2009's daily-live build (Jaunty) onto a CD. 2) I then reformated my 4GB OCZ Rally 2 Turbo USB Drive to Fat32. 3) Using a separate ISO of the Apr-20 Jaunty build, I tried creating a persistent live USB with the usb-creator. 4) At 17%, right when the program begins to write the persistent filesystem, usb-creator finishes immediately and successfully without writing the persistence files.
