Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
Hello,
I tried to use usb creator to create a read-write partition of 1 GB.
My computer got slow, and I checked using top, and "dd" was taking a large
amount of memory, and continually increasing (hundreds of megabytes). The
command was copying zeros into the file. The GUI showed that the program was
creating the read-write partition.
I use usb-creator 0.1.16 on ubuntu 9.04.
Here's the .usb-creator.log:
