Comment(by greenfeld):

 This USB stick might have been done using the CentOS 6.2 livecd-tools.
 I'll check it's filesystem type tomorrow.

 Personally I'm a bit nervous about being reliant on a command-line flag
 which only was added to git slightly less than a year ago (#11649).  Many
 users may not have upgraded to a version which contains this.

 We could include an updated version in our utilities and further look for
 an updated version on-system, but apart from the RPM, it doesn't look like
 livecd-iso-to-disk exposes a version identifier in an easy-to-spot manner.
