Public bug reported:
The GUI for the Disks application must have been changed in the last few
years so disk-format.html needs to be revised. The Disks application now
seems to hide as many of the technical details as it can (which in
theory I think is a good idea).
I have a problem in that when I format a USB flash drive using Disks
(Ubuntu 16.04) - no error is reported during formatting - but Ubuntu
then doesn't recognise the drive. When I create a partition and format
it using Gparted it works fine. Ive only tried this with one USB flash
drive, so the problem may be specific to that drive (or not). If Disks
doesn't work correctly, we can document how to format a removable disk
by using Gparted?
