Furthermore, the USB flash drive you wish to use can be no less than 1/10th the size of the largest storage drive in the system.

 Example:

Drive #1 size: 1TB
Drive #2 size: 2TB

Valid USB flash drive size: >=200GB

 

For Linux: 

Correct syntax

sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mount/point

 

Example (when USB drive is located at /dev/sda1)

sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1
