Hello list,
I formatted a 64MB usb stick with this command 'mkfs.ext2 -b 1024 /dev/XXX1' , to copy a file of 9230653440, but when it reached 7921295360, it gave input/ output error and the file is not copied.
How should this be done?

Assuming that is the file size in bytes, it's bigger than will fit on the stick.

Sorry it's a 64GB stick

check if the stick is ok with
dd if=/dev/XXX1 of=/dev/null bs=1024

When you did that, a) is the flash drive mounted, and b) is it /dev/sde1?
Actually, now I'm *really* confused: did you mean that the drive was 64G, or 64M?
Finally, please realize that the metadata for a filesystem will result in the filesystem being smaller than the raw drive. For example, here at work, I have a 250G drive, with a 1G /boot, a 2G swap, and the rest /... and formatted, / is 229G.

Just in case, you did not partition the whole key... right?
One test would be to try to copy 9 files of 1GB and see at what point it fails (if it does)...
When I was making my install usb keys, some of them did not seem to like "big" files for some unknown reason... Had to replace the DVD iso files with the CD ones.
