Hi:
Since I used Rufus or balenaEtcher to create USBMedia before, I recently saw the official Debian document(https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/CreateUSBMedia) , which uses Linux commands to create USBMedia.
The Linux commands used in this document are as follows:A warning statement is included below the Linux instruction as follows:
The image must be written to the whole-disk device and not a partition, e.g. /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1.
I would like to ask why the copy operation is performed on the entire hard disk space. Will the file system be changed and all data originally on the hard disk deleted after this operation?
Thanks for any help.
