Keep in mind that a save is not a copy. Would you expect a 'nix system to
be able to read the files from a IBM i tape save? I think you'd run into
the same issue with a save to USB.
Is the USB port available in IFS? For example, can you do something like
WRKLNK '/QOPT/*' and see the USB stuff there? If it is then CPY might be
better than a SAV. For more information look up the device parameter on
SAV. And try to figure out how you would tell it USB. My guess is that
it would be IFS specific like
tape: '/qsys.lib/tap01.devd'
savf: '/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/mysavf.file'
usb: ??

How to tell what capacity limits there are for saving files (image files)
to a USB for V7R1.
I've read multiple docs (IBM and others) - some mention a 32gb limit
others
don't.
IBM doc
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/
wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20Removable%20Media%20on%
20IBM%20i/page/Attaching%20USB%20Flash%20Drives%20to%20IBM%20i
has a comment from user at end "For USB 3.0 devices the 32GB max capacity
restriction was removed with 7.2 PTF MF63610 and 7.3 PTF MF63611".
The current 7.1 to 7.2 ptf cross reference has no 7.1 version of MF63610.
We need to move 4.6TB of images (approx. 1 million) to diff kind of system
(unix or win) across the country and our network people won't let us xmit
that much. We did get approved to use USB..
Other option is to copy to local win...
