Hey Nio! First impressions are GREAT! There are 2 issues I found. 1. The menu can be a bit confusing at times (at one point when you list out the detailed info) and it seems that the data might overwrite sda from a first glance look. It becomes clear soon.
2. I have an odd memory card adapter and a USB plugged in. mkusb thought the reader had the space the USB drive did. This IS a bug.
