« Last post by Patrick M. Hausen on Today at 10:42:30 pm »Haven't written an image using dd on macOS for ages, but you may have to use rdisk5 instead of disk5 (see here).1. /dev/disk5 is fine.
But even more important: 2GB USB stick is not big enough, the image is 2.39G unpacked.
2. Yes, the drive is too small as clearly shown by the "dd: /dev/disk5: end of device" message.
3. To get around the "device busy" problem use the GUI disk utility and deactivate (not eject!) the volume that is already present. Also the easiest way to get the disk device path. Click on the device, press Cmd-I for "information".
4. Use 1m blocksize for better performance.
I use dd exclusively to write images to devices - what else?
