preparing the usb-stick for file-transfer

command-line: very funny - the copy process is without any (!) effect - zero results copied!?

i run this command - to copy data from my notebook to a usb-stick

the command

`sudo rsync -av --progress /home/ubuntu/Dokumente /media/ubuntu/sdb/

see a part of the copied data

well believe me - i have no (!) results on the USB-Stick!!!!

why is this so?

i did some checks: see this Output here

ubuntu@T420s:~$ ls -al /media/ubuntu/

well this is interesting - how to proceed now - how to prepare the stick to get ready for the data saving process

well to be frank - i did a lot of errors - while i thought that this is enough

sudo rsync -av --progress /home/ubuntu/Dokumente /media/ubuntu/sdb/

well i guess that i have to create a partition on the drive?

and i will have to create a filesystem on the partition?

i look forward to har from you
