Interesting tool, might use it but I so rarely write to USB. Well,
unless I screw up Grub somehow. But for example, I need to do some
remote partition surgery on a VPS, basically moving a Debian
installation to a smaller virtual disk. 

So, partclone for initially backing up the partitions, gparted for
partition and file system resizing, pv for copying the resized
partitions to the other virtual drive. Not a lot of data to copy but
always a little hair raising to do this remotely.
