Hi All,
I have an Windows 11 ISO I burned to a 8GB USB
stick. The burning process removed a bunch of
hardware silliness.
The stick is only about 5BG used.
Is there a way to make an ISO out of the stick
and only get the used space (dd get everything)?
Many thanks,

# sudo mkisofs -o /home/kvm/myImage.iso -R -J -input-charset utf-8 ./
CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9
File ./CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim is larger than 4GiB-1.
-allow-limited-size was not specified. There is no way do represent this
file size. Aborting.
:'(
# ls CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/
autorun.inf bootmgr efi setup.exe support
boot bootmgr.efi setup.dll sources 'System Volume
Information'
Figured it out.
1) do not mount the flash drive from a file manager. Mount
it from the command line.
Here are my notes:
How to make an iso of a USB flash drive in Linux.
Note: the resulting ISO is not bootable. To re-make
a bootable USB drive from it, run Rufus from Windows
or woeusb from Linux (# dnf install WoeUSB)
# mkdir /mnt/iso
# mount /dev/sdcX /mnt/iso # get /dev/sdX from `ls /dev/sd*`
# mkisofs -allow-limited-size -o image.iso /mnt/iso
