I'll revise these pages too (revisions needed due to change to Disks GUI and apparently replacement of the Disk Utility application):
disk-partitions.html (current version of the page refers to the "Disk Utility application", etc) disk-benchmark.html (probably very minor changes: one menu option has changed name - the page doesn't say what the user does with the benchmark results - but that is matter for another bug). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651360 Title: Formatting a removable disk Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: 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?
