Comment 4 for bug 654016

After reformatting the usb stick (FAT32, default on my Win 7, just to be sure I am using it
fresh)

tried again, and it silently disappeared after "creating the persistent file" and
"creating an ext3 filesystem" on it, leaving in .cache/usb-creator.log:

at which point syslog reported:

(strangely, it now appears on /dev/sdc rather than /dev/sdb before; see the previous posts)
