    Hello:

     

    That did it.

    Thank you very much.

    Best,

    FAT32 doesn't support linux permissions.

     

    Ahh ...

    Forgotten tidbit.

    Thanks for the reminder.

     

    But running the script from the USB drive from an XPSP3 instalation while logged in as Administrator also gives me a similar error:

      

    Make Bootable v1.5
ERROR - script must be run as administrator.

Right click and select 'Run as administrator'
or execute from an elevated command prompt.

Press any key to continue ...

     

    As expected, it goes the same way if I open a terminal and execute 'make_bootable'.

     

    Please advise.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Did you try sudo ./make_bootable_linux

     

    No.

    I am running the script as root: 

    [root@devuan UNRAID]# whoami
root
[root@devuan UNRAID]# ./make_bootable_linux
-bash: ./make_bootable_linux: Permission denied
[root@devuan UNRAID]#

    ... try copying the make bootable script to your home folder and make sure the executable bit is set ...

     

    OK

      

    [root@devuan UNRAID]# cp make_bootable_linux /home/groucho
[root@devuan UNRAID]# cd /home/groucho
[root@devuan groucho]# ls

    Just in case, running it as root from the /home folder has the same result:

    I fail to understand why root lacks permissions to run the script from the flash drive.

    Still, something seems to be amiss.

    Wording might be improved ?

     

    Could be.

    In these days when you can run a full fledged distribution with persistence/portability from an SD card, the difference may not be immediately obvious or slip by, like with me.

     

    If I may suggest:

    You will also need a quality USB flash device that is 1GB or larger.

    Note that SD cards are not supported. For full hardware requirements, visit our product page.

    Had not seen that, must have missed it.

    Where is that?

    No matter.

    I'd appreciate some insight into this problem as I am keen to try Unraid.

    Hello:

     

    I downloaded the latest Unraid *.zip to test it on my box and see how it does.

    Unfortunately, after following the pertinent instructions, I have not been able to do so.

     

    The 2Gb SD card was formatted as FAT32 using `gparted` and a new UUID was written to it to make sure it had a unique one, just in case.

      

    [root@devuan UNRAID]# ./make_bootable_linux
-bash: ./make_bootable_linux: Permission denied
[root@devuan UNRAID]#

     

    To make sure it was not a Linux glitch, I tried to run `make_bootable.bat` as Administrator on a netbook running XPSP3.

     

    Same result: even though I am logged into XP as Administrator, the system tells me that I can only run the bat file as Administrator.

     

    I'd appreciate some insight into this problem as I am keen to try Unraid.

     

    Best,
