Something strange to me: it is said:
Fedora Media Writer destroys all data on the USB stick. If you need a non-destructive
write method (to preserve existing data on your USB stick) or support for 'data
persistence', you can use the livecd-iso-to-disk utility on Fedora.
Then,
livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.1.iso /dev/sdX
where X
could be (if I am correct) c (/dev/sdc)
Why this will preserve the USB stick?
I would have understand if it was /dev/sdc1 (or something else).
Where did you see that message? The man page suggests using a partition
(e.g. /dev/sdc1), not the whole disk device.
Doing livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.1.iso
/dev/sdc
would preserve my partitions sdc1, sdc2 ?
Yes, it will, unless you use the --format option which is usually what I do.
