    TIP: Before executing the command below you may want to format the disk but not create a volume. I didn’t format it once and it wrote to “cache” and I had a very hard time knowing when it was done actually writing to the drive. I tried safely remove be eventually just gave up and pulled the drive out and then formatted it so the command returning would better sync with completion of copy.

    WARNING: Be very careful not to copy to root drive
    NB: Takes a while with no feedback, until fail/pass

    cp debian.iso /dev/sdX
