How do you determine the size?
If I connect an USB stick and then run...
• rocketmouse@archlinux ~
$ cd Desktop/
• rocketmouse@archlinux ~/Desktop
$ mkdir mount_point_usb_stick
• rocketmouse@archlinux ~/Desktop
$ mount /dev/sdz2001 /home/rocketmouse/Desktop/mount_point_usb_stick/
mount: /home/rocketmouse/Desktop/mount_point_usb_stick: must be superuser to use mount.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
...I missed that the USB stick wasn't mounted, but write something using the "mount point"...
• rocketmouse@archlinux ~/Desktop
$ echo hallo > /home/rocketmouse/Desktop/mount_point_usb_stick/text.txt
...I'm quite sure it will be there after a reboot, without the USB stick
attached, since text.txt was written to the internal SSD.
Just an idea!
