How to identify the flash sticks.
I have 2 identical USB flash sticks. One has BionicPup32 on it as the bootble USB. The other one is empty. Both of them are inserted into USB ports. On BionicPyp32's desltop, there are 4 USB flash sticks, sda, sda1, sda2, and sdb1. When install the OS, how do I know which one is the bootable and which one is the empty one?
Thank you. |

in addition to above, in future, you can also look at naming some sticks
eg for ext2 3 or 4 use root powers to add a label to those sticks also works on internal drives so my fstab uses labels not UUIDs Code:
man e2label Code:
sudo e2label /dev/sda1 |

I'll try to identify them by opening the one marked sda since sda indicates as the boot device. Appreciate. |

Sorry, I do not know that much and unable to do what you advise. |
Running "lsblk -f" (as root) should give you a pretty good idea about what is on each stick.
