Usually to copy an iso image to a USB stick I would do: dd if=image.iso
of=/dev/sdg
"/dev/sdg" the path to the USB key checked in the logs.
Today with version dd (coreutils) 8.32, this command replaces the block device
/dev/sdg with a /dev/sdg regular file which has the same size as the iso image.
Is it a bug or a new feature?
I couldn't find an option in the man page for this new feature.
dd didn't remove the device file. I suggest that you remove the usb
stick, remove the device file, insert the usb stick, check that the
device file is actually there and correct, then try again with dd.
