Using DD to clone USB
by theblindhog from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YQHE)
I've recently had the urge to try Linux again.
The option to run a persistent USB is especially attractive.
I've installed (via MKUSB) and updated, ugraded, added programs, etc
to a 64gb Sandisk.
My next project was to clone this one so as to have same customized setup used on two or three laptops. So far I've been unable to accomplish this, seemingly simple, operation. When the three hour process finishes it says "no space left on device". 945409+0 records in, 945408+0 records out. I even went so far as to pick up another, another brand specific, Sandisk stick, after two failures on PNY drives.
Any suggestions? Better to image ILO clone (which is how I backup Windoze) ?
Regards,
Stan
