Getting started:
* Copy blocksync.py to the home directory on the remote host & make it executable
* Make sure your remote user is either root or can sudo (use -s for sudo)
* Make sure your local user can ssh to the remote host (use -i for a SSH key)
* Invoke:
python blocksync.py /dev/source [user@]remotehost [/dev/dest]
* Specify localhost for local usage:
python blocksync.py /dev/source localhost /dev/dest
