I tried to run it in the foreground with
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/libexec/udisks2/udisksd but still no messages aside from the timeout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1925822 Title: [21.04 regression] formatting vfat times out Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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 (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.
