If we ignore the timed out error in util-linux/src/udiskslinuxblock.c:
handle_format():
if (udisks_daemon_wait_for_object_sync (daemon,
wait_for_filesystem,
wait_data,
NULL,
15,
&error) == NULL)
{
#if 0
g_prefix_error (&error, "Error synchronizing after initial wipe: ");
if (invocation != NULL)
g_dbus_method_invocation_take_error (invocation, error);
else
g_clear_error (&error);
goto out;
#endif
}
Then gnome-disks can format usb sticks correctly, and usb-creator also works
with another patch:
