You guys can easily fix your problem by applying the patch in the bug I
linked to above: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-
creator/+bug/321544. If you have the 2 GB (2048 MB) limit it is because
usb-creator is telling dd to make a single block that is 2048 MB.
However, dd will only allow blocksizes < 2048 MB. This is the cause of
the bug. Even without the 2048 MB limit having really large blocksize is
a bad idea anyway. You can easily just change that one line in the
script (as is shown in the patch) to tell it to use a reasonable block
size like 1 KB and then just make the right number of blocks to get the
size you want. You will still be limited to a 4 GB persistence file
though, because this is the largest file you can create on a vfat file
system. They are unlikely to change from vfat because that is what
syslinux uses and it allows the usb stick to still be read in Windows.
