[Bug 484252] Re: Format action wipes all partitions

[Alain Baeckeroot]

It is not an OSS problem, its is an UBUNTU problem.

Ubuntu wants to make easy money, but does not act in a responsible way
by NOT FIXING TRASHING DATA BUG.

It not hte only bug like this that is not fixed, and which concerns
Canonical employee developed tools.

If you need rock solid distro, switch to something else, ubuntu is for
kids, not for professional.

Title:
  Format action wipes all partitions

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  I have two partitions on my stick: FAT-32 boot partition and Ext-4 without journal one. So, the program shows: 1) FAT partions, Ext 4 partition, Whole drive.
  I can only choose one item in the list: fat, ext4 or whole drive. I suppose the utility only formats selected partition (and leaves other ones alone) or formats the whole drive into Fat-32. But it doesn't. It formats the whole stick into one big Fat-32 partition, which is highly inconsistent.
