Description of problem: livecd-iso-to-disk with the option --overlay-size-mb returns immediately with no error or status message, does not write to USB drive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): livecd-tools-24.4-1.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 2048 Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-26-1.5.iso /dev/sda" 2. 3. Actual results: Returns to prompt immediately with no message or action Expected results: Prompt about destroying all data, then writes image to USB drive. Additional info: USB drive was 8GB, so should not be a space issue. Removing the --overlay-size-mb option works as expected. Removing the --home-size-mb option exhibits the error.
That command line worked for me. Could you edit line 1 of /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk to request xtracing: #!/bin/bash -x And provide the transcript?

Something I noticed: When the device is plugged in and mounted, I have /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, and /dev/sg0. When I unmount the device, I have /dev/sda and /dev/sg0. When I unplug the device, both /dev/sda and /dev/sg0 are removed. Should I be writing to /dev/sg0 instead?

Well the wipefs and fdisk messages with the unmounted disk seems to indicate that there is some intervening firmware on the device. Do you need to reformat to an ext4 filesystem for some reason? If so, you may need to use another tool, perhaps gnome.disk.utility (Disks). You could install the image into the existing FAT32 volume by leaving out the --format option.
Tried a few things to write to the existing FAT32 volume and discovered the following: Inserting the device creates /dev/sda. /dev/sda1, and /dev/sg0 and mounts /dev/sda1. Then in GNOME, I get a prompt to open Nautilus with the files on /dev/sda1. I already know not to write to /dev/sda1 while it is mounted. Attempting to write the image to /dev/sda while /dev/sda1 is mounted results in a complaint that the device doesn't contain a file system. Hitting the eject button in Nautilus causes /dev/sda1 to disappear. Attempting to write to /dev/sda1 then results in a complaint that /dev/sda1 is not a block device. Attempting to mount /dev/sda1 manually fails because the device entry doesn't exist. If instead of pressing eject in Nautilus, I manually umount /dev/sda1, /dev/sda1 does not disappear. Then, writing the image to /dev/sda1 (without the --format option) actually works. (Well, I haven't tried booting from the image yet...) So the problem isn't with the script, it's apparently with the interaction between Nautilus and my expectations. Possibly some documentation changes for this tool could clarify how to make sure the device entry for the partition one wants to write to exists even if the partition isn't mounted? Thanks for your patience working with me on this.
(In reply to Matthew Saltzman from comment #10) > So the problem isn't with the script, Well, the --format option fails on your device. Could you share the make and model so we can investigate further? The gnome.disk.utility (Disks) tool should help in obtaining information and seeing the status of partitions on the disk. We should write code to avoid what you experienced.

Yeah, that occurred to me after I posted. The machine in question is a ThinkPad Yoga X1 (1st generation). The main drive is a 256GB SSD. The Disk utility doesn't give any information about make or model. The USB drive is a Kingston USB 3.0 8GB. What else do you need?
(In reply to Matthew Saltzman from comment #12) > The USB drive is a Kingston USB 3.0 8GB. There are a lot of those. Could you provide a link to your model on Amazon? Thanks!
