Q: 'name invalid operation failed' error erasing usb (tails.iso)
Hello,
New community user, old mac user.
Have been trying to erase these two bootable 'tails' USB drives I made and I'm getting the same error message listed above 'name invalid - operation failed' for both, have tried in Disk Utility and with terminal command, terminal error stated the drive was too small.
Not 100% sure exactly what code I used to produce said error message (never remember so always copy paste from sites) something along the lines of:
diskutil eraseDisk disk2 HFS+ "name"
Any help much appreciated.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Ok Solution found!
Anyone else with the same error message should try this, or with that specific tails drive issue.

Typical that it should be on their site, searched for ages. Search engines win every time over internal website searches.
