Hello!
parted 3.6 crashing when trying to modify debian hybrid iso usb flash
drive.
Hybrid means it has all partition types at once (mac, mbr) to make it
boot from all possible hardware. Also being iso compatible.
To create debian hybrid iso image you need use lb (live-build) or
download from debian web site.
How does usb device looks like from different software?
