Dear Dev team: Upon trying to format an external hdd (connected to a Kubuntu AMD64 machine via USB2.0 in an external enclosure) partition (about 10GB) from ext2 to FAT32 this morning, it took about 1 second to report success, which struck me as strange. As I ran QTParted from the command line, I was able to capture the following message, submitted to you for your pleasure.
sudo qtparted Error: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted! You should e2fsck. Modifying an u nclean filesystem could cause severe corruption. Error: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted!
