Public bug reported: gnome-disks fails to delete,add,modify,format partitions or to rewrite partition table on an esternal drive.
in my case, after a dd command to copy a hybrid iso, I can't modify my usb stick filesystem layout because of gnome-disks crashing during operation with (udisks-error-quark, 0) message gparted works as expected. I remember that it didn't work in precise pangolin too. On previous versions it destroyed 2 or 3 times my hd mbr after a simple removal of a partition. It looks like an incredibly buggy and extrimely dangerous piece of software.. It could be because we have udsisk and udisk2 installed in parallel.
