Re: usb sticks





2009/6/16 Tom Deblauwe <tom.deblauwe@telenet.be>
Hi,

I am using fat32 as a resulting binary image filesystem. My question is: If I copy the binary.img image to different types of sticks(512MB, 1GB, 2GB,...) and different brands, using "dd", will there ever be a problem with sector sizes or something like that? Maybe when writing on the disk again? I am not saying I have this particular problem, but I'm only wondering..

if you dumped the image onto a smaller sized media than the original, lost of data is possible. If the intended destination is having a bad sector, the process will ended up prematurely.
 

Thanks for any help,
Best regards,
Tom,
