Burning the LiveUSBs

In my last post, I talked about the OSG LiveUSBs.  Now that the conference is next week, I have started burning the USB with the image.

USB Key Piles

I burned 4 USBs at a time, using the script below.  Parted didn't work, never really found out why.  The symptoms where that the USB would not boot, but they where readable by Macs.  So I scripted fdisk.

	#!/bin/bash -x
	device="sdb sdc sdd sde"
	for dev in $device; do
	fdisk /dev/$dev << EOF
	d
	n
	p
	1
	t
	c
	w
	EOF
	#parted /dev/$dev rm 1
	#parted -s -- /dev/$dev mkpart primary fat32 1 1588
	parted /dev/$dev set 1 boot on
	done;
	for dev in $device; do
	part=$dev""1
	mkfs -t vfat /dev/$part
	livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 300 OSG-SL6.2-x86_64-LiveUSB.iso /dev/$part &
	done
