How do I access an SD card via command line in Chrome OS?
I'm trying to use the command line in terminal to unzip a massive .zip archive on my SD card. My understanding is that normally, I would locate the SD card in /dev/, mount the card, and then I should have read/write privileges.
But I don't know the name of the correct device node. diskutil list is not available AFAIK. What should I do?
I am running ChromeOS Version 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (64-bit), and using the Terminal via Crostini
block-device chrome-os

Thanks for responding! I'm not sure what you mean by error info. If you mean what happens if I try to rundiskutil list, the message I receive is-bash: diskutil: command not found

trylsblk, it should output all your block devices. Even it doesn't work, you should be able to plug it off to see which device mode disappeared or plug it in to see which device just appeared.

Turns out accessing external storage via command line is not available in Version 70.0 of ChromeOS, and support is still pending to arrive in Version 72. At least according to this news article. For now, I will have to unzip the archive in a different machine. Thanks!
