I have to disagree.
USB disks often come formatted with FAT (specifically FAT32), because it works on almost any OS.
And FAT32 doesn't support files of 4GB or larger.
So, whereas in general terms, you're right, the post didn't contain anywhere near enough specific info -- in this case, it had enough. The probable cause was pretty clear.
Really? "... copy ... to USB ... without success" needs at least open(3) and write(3), so I could think of errors from the system like EACCES, EPERM, EISDIR, ENOTDIR, ENOSPC, EIO, etc. Or, it could have been the "I copied an ISO but it didn't boot" case. So at that point, I'd have needed some more information in order to help. That's why we already have a 20+ thread for a quite trivial case. And that's why I continue to repeat this when someone reports a problem (also at work) without enough information: - What did I try to do? - How did I try to do it? - What result was expected? - What was the actual result? and finally - What was the error message (if any)?
