Title:
  Improper blocksize set by usb-creator, leads to problems during
  formatting

Status in parted package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in parted package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When ever I create a bootable USB using usb-creator , and when I try
  to format it after my work is done, I get this error

  “The Driver descriptor says physical block size is 2048 bytes, but
  Linux says it is 512” in Gparted. (screen shot in the attachments)

  Furthermore , The USB is divided into strange partitions (image
  attached). and shows the 16GB partition as 60GB partition.

  I presume that this is because of setting the blocksize to 1000000 by
  this tool : as in the source code here :
