I think this is a similar or possibly the same issue:

I have a 4 GB usb drive and when I move the persistence slider all the way to the left to allocate 3.1GB, usb-creator exits with a return code of 0 when it is only 17% complete...that is right after it has finished loading the Jaunty ISO onto the USB drive. It never loads the persistence at all.

However, If I set the slider so that the memory allocated is less than 1.2 GB, then it writes the persistence files completely. In this case the USB drive works perfectly. I think the limit is 1.2 because if you add the memory needed for the ISO you will make approximately 2GB (in other words, I think there is an incorrect limit of 2GB somewhere in the source).

I have tried and reproduced this problem loading the Jaunty daily-lives (Apr 18, 19, and 20 - 2009) running off both April 19 and 20 builds.

usb-creator version 0.1.16
