Does aufs = sdb*?
Posted: 02 Jun 2014, 14:16
In attempting to run the Porteus install app to install Porteus to a USB flash drive I got this:
I tried to limit access to my machine's harddrive but can't since that is where Porteus is currently booted from.
The USB drive has been nuked so there is nothing on it at this point. spaceFM lists it as sdb [no media]. (There was a block of unused space at the end of it but I expanded sdb1 to fill it before nuking it.)
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password:
root@porteus:/home/guest# /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/boot/Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
