Title:
  progress is misleading due to disk buffer

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The progress of the disk creation is misleading due to disk buffer.

  The progress bar fills up in seconds and then the process is stuck on
  "Finishing" phase for several minutes, while the data is actually
  written to disk.

  This is bad UX and can cause confusion to users.
