/dev/sda is my 8 GB USB stick, formatted as FAT32:
lsblk:

└─sda1 8:1 1 7,3G 0 part
nvme0n1 259:0 0 1,8T 0 disk
└─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 1,8T 0 part
├─mint--vg-root 253:0 0 1,8T 0 lvm /
└─mint--vg-swap_1 253:1 0 15,9G 0 lvm [SWAP]ReaR local.conf contains:
OUTPUT=USB
USB_DEVICE=/dev/sda1 (also tried with /dev/sda)
rear -D mkrescue throws:
