Terry, I don't know where the rules are, but no HTML is the typical rule people run afoul of. As to your real question, odds are high that 32GB thumb drive has a FAT32 filesystem. Max filesize on FAT32 s 4GB. Reformat if there is nothing of value on it. If there is and you have a windows PC handy, they this from the command prompt : convert D: /fs:ntfs where D: is the drive letter of the thumbdrive when plugged into your Windows PC. I've done that convert dozens of times with 1000's of files on the drive. For me the the files were always important enough I needed 2 copies anyway, so the first thing I do is make a copy to a virgin thumbdrive formatted with a better FS, then do a convert on the one that has the wrong FS.

Greg -- Greg Freemyer www.IntelligentAvatar.net If that is true then I'm wondering why I was able to mount the drive (with the 4G) on a windows PC and copy an additional 1.5G to it for a total of 5.5G. Back on Linux the drive shows both the 4G and 1.5G files.
Do you know of a command which will tell me the file system on the drive?

you missed the -T option which would have shown us the file system type.

then the command fdisk -l /dev/sde1
you told fdisk to search for a partition table in the first partition of the device ... which does not exist because sde1 contains a file system. Use "fdisk -l /dev/sde" to print the partition table of the whole device sde instead.

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.

If it hasn't been made clear: With FAT32 no single file can be larger than 4GB. Freespace is an unrelated concept. btw: FAT32 holds the filesize in a 32-bit value 2^32 = 2^2 * 2^10 * 2^10 * 2^10 = 4 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 4 Gigabytes. So any filesystem that maintains the file size in a 32bit value will max out at 4 gigabytes.

/sbin/blkid What Greg was referring to is a SINGLE FILE. FAT32 imposes a limit of 4GB on a single file. It doesn't matter how much more free space is on the disk. So trying to write a >4GB dot-iso file isn't going to work. If the stick has to be read by a Windows machine, you have to use on of the Microsoft file systems OR somehow add a driver to the Windows machine to deal with other file systems such as ext4. Yes they do exist; no I have not any experience with them. What I *DO* have experience with is using exFAT. There is a driver for exFAT for Linux. It is the file system on large USB and microchip cards such as might be used in a camera or hone, which is where I have been using it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/955704 http://www.howtogeek.com/73178/what-file-system-should-i-use-for-my-usb-driv... http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/06/review-is-microsofts-n... -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There are many ways, as you have seen :-) If the drive is already mounted, the output of a plain "mount" gives it, albeit a bit confusing, because if gives the entire list of all mounted filesystems in your computer, and you have to distinguish which it is. "blkid" gives lots of interesting info, and one is the filesystem type, even if it is not mounted. Another is "file -s /dev/sdXY", replacing "X" with the correct letter that corresponds with your drive, and the "Y" is the correct number of the partition you use. This command gives the basic information that is used by other programs. "gparted", a partition editor, will also give that information. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

While I don't know about the ctrl v, mouse difference, when pasting from other than plain text you have to use paste without formatting, to insert plain text. I just tried an experiment. I copies from a document and it made no difference whether I used crtl c/v or mouse. Either way, the complex text was pasted.
