On etcher-cli-1.4.4-linux-x64-dist.

It is useful to use paths under /dev/disk/by-id/* instead of /dev/sd*.

These paths under /dev/disk/by-id/ are symbolic links.

Etcher CLI fails to follow these symlinks with error "We can't find "/dev/disk/by-id/<id>" in your system. Did you unplug the drive?"

The current workaround is to use etcher --drive "$(readlink -f /dev/disk/by-id/<id>)" <image>

Please consider allowing it.
