so I'm trying to make a live usb persistence wizard for Debian/Ubuntu
from SalixOS' source usbpersistencewizard
so, the ubuntu one works great
however the debian procedure for making a live-rw file is different than ubuntu's casper-rw file
casper-rw command
Code:
SIZE=$1
FREE=$('df' -k .|tail -n1|awk '{print $4}')
AFTER=$(( $FREE - 1024 * $SIZE ))
if [ $AFTER -gt 0 ]; then
dd if=/dev/zero of=casper-rw bs=1M count=$SIZE
mkfs.ext3 -F casper-rw
live-rw command
Code:
SIZE=$1
FREE=$('df' -k .|tail -n1|awk '{print $4}')
AFTER=$(( $FREE - 1024 * $SIZE ))
if [ $AFTER -gt 0 ]; then
dd if=/dev/null of=live-rw bs=$SIZE seek=1
mkfs.ext2 -F live-rw
so, bs=$SIZE does not work because the command needs a M or G for MB or GB after it,etc
bs=1024M would create a 1gb live-rw file,etc
how do I add the M or G parameter to $SIZE?
thx
