Hi Mats,
Look in the /dev directory (ls /dev).
If you only have the boot device and an additional USB drive (in your
case, an USB-to-SD adapter),
the boot device shall be /dev/sdM0 and
the USB/SD device shall be /dev/sdU0.0
Kind Regards,
Dante

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

Hi Mats,
I posted it before; unfortunately the archive doesn't save the
attached
files.
Here is the original post: http://9fans.net/archive/2014/08/78.
Please see the attachment for the script.
Cheers,

I would appreciate it a lot if you could send the "clone script" that
you used to clone the 9pi imate to a larger SD card. Thanks
beforehand!

If you must use a rpi, you should strive to use it as a terminal,
and
like every other Plan 9 terminal it should use the central file
server
without local storage.
That would be my advice too. As an experiment, I set up a 9picpu
using
the SD card as local storage, working mostly as a secondary smtp and
imap
server. After a bit less than a year, the SD card suffered a
catastrophic
failure. When I say catastrophic, I mean I can't find any
meaningful
data
anywhere in the first 120MB or so of /dev/sdM0/data ... just
not-quite-random
looking garbage.
I can't think of any software fault that could wipe out so much of a
disk, with no respect for partition boundaries (the dos partition in
the first 64MB had not been mounted). But I also know too little
about
the internals of SD cards to understand how they fail. Maybe some
internal logical-to-physical block mapping table went bad?
Anyway, it's just one anecdotal data point, but I wouldn't be happy
running any plan 9 machine with an SD card as the main filesystem.
