Hello Wolfgang,

File system commands like "ls" etc. require a device type parameter.
If an unknown type is specified, they return an error code but no
visible feedback to the user:

  -> ls FOOBAR 1:1 /
  ->

Add an error message to make clear what happens, and why.

It would be nice to have here a list of supported devices, so a user
can see what are valid arguments for ifname.

        if (!part_str || !*part_str) {
