Comment added to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603277.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=587411 livecd-iso-to-disk
--format fails with SD/MMC partitions.

The umount ${device}? will fail with an SD/MMC partition that uses a
device-partition# separator, such as the 'p' in /dev/mmcblk0p1

umount ${device}* would work, but would also unmount all partitions.

Having the partition number 1 hardcoded as USBDEV=${device}1 could also fail
with some SD/MMC drivers.
Attachment, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=413572&action=edit
, has
some replacement code:


-    USBDEV=${device}1

+    partition=$( awk '$4 ~ /'${device#/dev/}'.*[0-9]$/ {print $4}'
/proc/partitions )
+    partnum=${partition##${device#/dev/}}
+    USBDEV=${device}${partnum}
