Fun #Linux tip:
You don't have to run your file system / partitioning / etc tools as root!
Just change ownership of the device to your regular user!
Also you can use the folders under /dev/disk/by-* to identify your devices more easily instead of trying to match up the output of fdisk -l with /dev/sd*.
sudo chown --dereference $USER /dev/disk/by-id/mmc-00000_0x69420*

@csepp But wouldn't that potentially allow malicious code to damage stuff without elevated privileges?
