I hadn't noticed it before, but dd uses “real” quotation marks
in its error message. Who would have thought it?

I'd be interested to see the contents of file /run/udev/data/b8:X
where X is typically a power of two. The file appears as the stick
is plugged in. If the stick is partitioned, files b8:X+1, etc also
appear, one for each partition.
