I tested with v0.2.381 from precise-proposed, but got inconsistent
results. This may be related to a triggered udisks-daemon crash which
looks a lot like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752175 and

Subject: [Bug 484252] Re: Format action wipes all partitions
I would like to propose my original request.
Fix it so that it works
Just been bitten by this as well in Oneiric. The dialog does say entire
disk but it's still very ambiguous. Primarily because on the main
dialog, in the LABEL and CAPACITY columns, it gives the label and
capacity for the first partition, rather than the entire disk. If THAT
dialog said 320GB
I would like to propose my original request.
Fix it so that it works on the partition selected and not the entire
disk. A warning is a poor substitute.
If it cannot be done then I suggest the usb-creator be removed from the
standard installation of Ubuntu.

better if you just go ahead and work on a patch, submit it here, and let

Patches seem to have been available for review/sponsorship, but the bug
had not been flagged as such (now done).
It seems unlikely that the status is still/currently In progress, but
someone else will need to set it back to Triaged and reset the

Here's a patch. I've modified the usb-creator to format the partition
that is selected - or the USB disk otherwise. Tested it on a stick with
