Live USB: /dev/disk/by-label/ARTIX_202207

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but once I choose keyboard layout etc., the boot stops with the error:
Code: [Select]
:: Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARTIX_202207' to '/run/artix/bootmnt'
Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARTIX_202207 ...
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARTIX_202207' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
    Falling back to interactive prompt
    You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ]#
I've tried to use both the base-runit and runit-plasma ISOs (checksums checked), used both dd and Rufus (tried MBR/GPT and ISO/dd mode), but I always get the same error... What should I try?

It is often the case that some image burners truncate the label and than system cannot find it.
Is this the same case?

No, I've just found a solution but it leaves me with even more questions...

At the prompt, ls /disk/by-label did not return the USB, only the laptop's disk. So I removed and inserted again the USB and... ls /disk/by-label magically found it. Exited from the prompt, the live booted and I repaired GRUB on my main install (but this is another story)
