Hi dante!

I copied your piclone script in Plan 9 but even though I've been
digging I can't find out how to get the name of the SD card attached
to the pi on which I want to clone my setup on. So, easily put, what
command do I use to get to know that? So I wonder how to get the
device name of the clean SD in the USB card adapter. In your post
first mentioning the script you wrote: "If the device is recognized as
"sdUXX", call "piclone sdUXX". Well that is what I want to find out.
If I get that I'm ready to "rock and roll".

Kind Greetings,
Mats
