Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Booting from: Jaunty daily-live (Apr 20)
Package version: usb-creator (0.1.16)
ISOs used: Jaunty daily-live (Apr 19, 20)


I am trying to create a live-persistent-USB on a 4GB USB drive (FAT 32) using 
usb-creator. In the gui, I move the slider for persistence file space all the 
way to the left so it reads 3.1GB allocated for saving system settings, etc. 
When the program is run, using the above mentioned ISO's, usb-creator will exit 
with a status of 0 right after it has finished writing the ISO files to the 
usb. Therefore, the persistence filesystem is never written to the USB drive, 
but the resulting USB drive is still functional. It is verified that USB is a 
working, non-persistent live USB.

The peculiarity is that if I set the persistence slider to approximately
1.2 GB or below, the entire process works perfectly. The resulting USB
is a working, persistent, live USB with approximately 1.2 GB allocated
for persistency (or however much drive space I have specified in the
gui).

I believe it is a bug that I am unable to allocate more USB drive space
for persistency.
