I think this bug no longer applies to the current version of Nautilus (3.8.2 in Ubuntu 13.10). In that version, the Computer page lists files in the root directory of my hard drive. Devices are shown only in the sidebar. If I right click a device there, there is a Format... option in the context menu.
I recommend marking this bug invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1057019 Title: No format option for devices in Nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1057019/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
