Well, it has to have some default because if you make 20 sd cards
per day, every keystroke counts. And in 19 times you type
/dev/sdg correctly and then you mistype /dev/sdh + Enter.

So it needs some default you do not have to think about too much.

There is already a secondary default which reads the file ~/.makesd.conf
to set such a default. And the /dev/sdc is only used if that file
does not exist or is empty.

I have already updated the documentation page because that
feature is available for a while.

And we can simply replace the final /dev/sdc default by /dev/null...

Oh, sorry.

It was warned in the description to take care, but that hint doesn't help
of course if it is too late. It may help others reading this mail.

I hope you have a backup.

BR,
Nikolaus
