Having multiple partitions that you care about is maybe not the common case, but as described also in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446891 (Should maybe marked as duplicate of this one) it is present. Especially on external hard drives.

Then it is clear that you can only format the whole disk. -- Wrong behaviour on format action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
