20 That's what it reports when /dev/sdd is mounted:
21
22 sudo blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sdd
23 2031091712
24
25 When not mounted it reports that no medium found. The same log from usb_inst.sh:
26
27 Installation on /dev/sdd at 2014-12-20_16:47
28 blockdev: cannot open /dev/sdd: No medium found
29 usb_inst.sh: error: The device [/dev/sdd] is only 0 MB. It is too small to copy all the files, an USB-stick of at least 512MB is recommended

32 But shell script should be run unmounted. Confused.
