Shouldn't it be usr/sbin/rear format -v -- --efi /dev/sd (with two dashes in front of efi) ?

@gozora you are right, that was a typo in the issue. Sorry about that.
Unfortunately that is not the problem. I used the correct command and it only worked after I applied the workaround, i.e. edited the code

The usr/sbin/rear format -v -- --efi /dev/sd... command works as expected using d032145.
Thanks for the quick fix @jsmeix

I think less than one hour from initial user bug report
to final user confirmation that the fix actually works
is probably our fastest case that we had here.
So - now it's time for my morning coffee and breakfast...
