Note that I had disconnected ssd /dev/sda. I used fdisk to determine what the usb stick was called, and it said sda. History (in part):
If you need a way to do a quick check of what drives are connected to what device names, the lsscsi command is probably the easiest. For example, on my system: % lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA Samsung SSD 850 2B6Q /dev/sda [1:0:0:0] disk ATA Samsung SSD 860 3B6Q /dev/sdb [2:0:0:0] disk ATA ST3000DM008-2DM1 CC26 /dev/sdc [3:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000DM004-2CV1 0001 /dev/sdd [6:0:0:0] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW -0 1.00 /dev/sde [6:0:0:1] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW -1 1.00 /dev/sdf [6:0:0:2] disk Generic- USB3.0 CRW -2 1.00 /dev/sdg [7:0:0:0] disk JetFlash Transcend 16GB 1100 /dev/sdh So my 16GB Transend stick is definitely /dev/sdh One nice thing about imagewriter is that it will only allow you to pick usb-drives. Best of luck with the lightning recovery. Michael
