I want to install Ubuntu on a USB (full install) Its a 64 gb usb so I have plenty of space. In the live mode I try to install it but its stuck (I waited 8 hours) on creating ext4 file system for / after i saw this warning (clicked on continue):

The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI1 (0,0,0), patition #3 (sdb) at / failed. You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu. go back/continue

When I click on Go Back then the progress bar disappears.

Try setting up your partitions before installing, and creating a new Partition Table on the process.

From your live session, open gparted, create a new partition table on your pendrive (if your machine(s) support UEFI Boot use GPT, else use MBR), format the space as ext4 (if you get errors during this process, you may have bad storage on your pendrive) and do the regular setup. Beware that pendrive installs are very slow and prone to errors.
