NAME
       ostree-create-usb - Put the given refs on an external drive for P2P
       distribution.

SYNOPSIS
       ostree create-usb [OPTIONS...] {MOUNT-PATH} {COLLECTION-ID REF}
                         [COLLECTION-ID REF...]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       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.

       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.

OPTIONS
       --disable-fsync
           Do not invoke fsync().

       --destination-repo=DEST
           Create the repository in DEST under MOUNT-PATH, rather than the
           default location.

       --commit=COMMIT
           Pull COMMIT instead of whatever REF points to. This can only be
           used if a single ref is specified.
