Forgot to mention, there is nothing useful in the journal. The only
message is this when the timeout happens:
Apr 23 15:12:35 ubuntu udisksd[3116]: Error synchronizing after
formatting with type `vfat': Timed out waiting for object
** Description changed:
There is a regression somewhere between udisks, udev, and dosfstools.
Formatting a device with vfat hangs and fails:
-
# blkid -p /dev/sda
(nothing)
- busctl call org.freedesktop.UDisks2
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block Format
'sa{sv}' vfat 0
+ # busctl call org.freedesktop.UDisks2
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block Format
'sa{sv}' vfat 0
(long pause)
Call failed: Error synchronizing after formatting with type `vfat': Timed out
waiting for object
# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTUUID="3690494f" PTTYPE="dos"
OTOH, formatting as ext4 works fine:
# wipefs -a /dev/sda; wipefs -a /dev/sda
# busctl call org.freedesktop.UDisks2
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block Format
'sa{sv}' ext4 0
(immediately succeeds)
# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: UUID="8bea7475-6af5-4835-86d0-0e5b2cb5500e" VERSION="1.0"
BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" USAGE="filesystem"
I tested this to a QEMU emulated disk, but it reproduces equally well
against a `modprobe scsi_debug` device.
Package: udisks2 2.9.2-1
