How to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB with more than 4GB
5 answers
Ive just installed & booted to Ubuntu from my boot-able USB, which is originally 8GB usb.
Now when im looking at the usb size I can only find 1.1GB partition?
Is Ubuntu really taking up 7GB from my USB or am I missing something?
Thanks in addition,

ubuntu is only using 1.1 GB of the 8GB the rest is unallocated.You can't see the rest, because the image was burnt without a partition table

How did you "install" Ubuntu exactly? You downloaded the ISO and "burned" it to the USB? Not really the same as installing, but you can allocate the rest of the space after booting into "Try Ubuntu" mode, to use for persistent storage.

@wjandrea it is Ubuntu 16.04.01, The ISO was ~1.5GB

The partition on the USB drive is only as big as the Ubuntu image you burned to the drive. (I'm guessing the size is inconsistent because some things show it in megabytes and others in mebibytes.) The rest of the space would need to be partitioned before it's accessible; you could use GParted to do that.
Ultimately, where you want to set up a portable OS, you should refer to one of these questions, depending on your needs:
- Live image: How to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB with more than 4GB
- Full install: How do I install Ubuntu to a USB key? (without using Startup Disk Creator)
