Could register at systemrescuecd forums for now, so I thought to ask here. Trying to get systemrescuecd iso on USB stick. There is shell script on to accomplish just that. When I try to run it, it identifies my thumb drive, however reports that it is 0 mb. When disk is mounted, the volume in megabytes just right,  about 2 GB. Log file says that is not enough memory to install. Any ideas what might be a problem? And yes, I am about to try to install gen too from rescued USB drive in efi mode

don't use any scripts. Never gave me a bootable solution. Either burn to
cd or do it manually.

For me, the script that comes on sysresccd always worked (though I’ve never
used EFI yet). The script determines the size of the device with "blockdev
--getsz /path/to/device"

What does that return if called manually and what size is reported in other
programs (fdisk, dmesg after plugging it in)?

Hi. I would tell you if I knew how to do it in fdisk for instance. Can you provide me with
instructions please?

That's what it reports when /dev/sdd is mounted:

sudo blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sdd
2031091712

When not mounted it reports that no medium found. The same log from usb_inst.sh:

Installation on /dev/sdd at 2014-12-20_16:47
blockdev: cannot open /dev/sdd: No medium found
usb_inst.sh: error: The device [/dev/sdd] is only 0 MB. It is too small to copy all the files, an USB-stick of at least 512MB is recommended


But shell script should be run unmounted. Confused.

Do you try 'umounted' right after inserting the USB before any mount commands are run?

Some automounters send an 'eject' command which makes some USB sticks disappear until they are unplugged and plugged back in.

The thing here is that my usb stick is automaunted by the system. I am running Lubuntu. I unmount it simply by clicking on it in a LXDE.

Do you think it would  make sense to mount stick manually and then unmount it? Thanks

Thanks Joost. I wrote to usb stick just fine after I umount /dev/sdd1 manually. Those damn automounters.
