.SH "NAME" ostree-create-usb - Put the given refs on an external
drive for P2P distribution.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP 432u
ostree create-usb [OPTIONS...] {MOUNT-PATH} {COLLECTION-ID REF}
[COLLECTION-ID REF...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP This command creates a repository in MOUNT-PATH and pulls the given
REF(s) into it so they can be found and pulled from (perhaps by another
computer that's offline). See ostree-find-remotes(1) for more
information on P2P distribution.
.PP In order for ostree to pull refs from a mounted filesystem (such as a USB
drive) the repo must be in a standard location. Specifically, subdirectories
of .ostree/repos.d are checked, then .ostree/repo, ostree/repo, and
var/lib/flatpak/repo are checked. By default ostree create-usb uses
.ostree/repo, but if you specify another location using
--destination-repo a symbolic link will be created for you in
.ostree/repos.d.
.PP This command will regenerate the summary file in the destination repo so
that it stays accurate, so you shouldn't try to use summary signatures in
the destination repo. This shouldn't be a concern because clients that
support pulling from USB mounts use signed per-repo and per-commit metadata
instead of summary signatures.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP --disable-fsync
Do not invoke fsync().
.RE
.PP --destination-repo=DEST
Create the repository in DEST under MOUNT-PATH, rather than the default
location.
.RE
.PP --commit=COMMIT
Pull COMMIT instead of whatever REF points to. This can only be used if a
single ref is specified.
