This is really strange. The original problem was linux not being able to write the full lates system iso. Only 4G was written. Now the above command says the drive has 26G free!
Well, all points to that drive being type FAT. Almost all sticks come with it. And you simply can not write a file bigger than 4G. But... are you intending to boot from that system iso? Because it will not work. Instead, follow the instructions given on our wiki (help on the download page). Me, I would do: cp system.iso /dev/sdXY in your text above, it is "/dev/sde1", but that can change; notice that giving the wrong X or Y would destroy completely beyond repair another "drive". If your intention is to copy the image for transporting to another machine, and you need the stick to work in Windows, then the easiest alternative is to format it in Windows as NTFS (and there is a trick I can't remember which to allow write to the entire drive, no reserved space). exFAT is also another possibility, but it will not work straight out of the box in Linux (for legal reasons). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
