[App_rpt-users] Help with writing Pickle image to Micro-SD

[Jim Duuuude]

I would *guess* that your are writing it to a partition on the flash card.
the 'pickle.img' is intended to be an image of the WHOLE flash card.
Would that not be in your case /dev/sdd *not* /dev/sdd1??

When we make them, we always use /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, etc...

And when you have it working, you DEFINITELY can mount either or
both of the partitions created on the card with RHEL.
