Hi,

read the output of "df --help" and "lsblk --help". It's displayed by
the output of "lsblk", because "lsblk" lists "devices". It isn''t shown
by the output of "df", since "df" shows "mounted items" only, but you
didn't mount your USB stick.

Below you can see the output I get, if a bootable and persistent
xubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso on an USB stick made with Ventoy is
mountend or unmounted.

The output of "ventoy" shows the link to the Ventoy homepage.
