Description Cristian Aravena Romero 2018-10-10 18:34:55 UTC
Hello,

Open bug in launchpad.net
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797190

"I am trying to format a pendrive of 2TB(Purchased in China for ebay). What I do is the following:

1) I start the notebook with Linux 4.18.0-9
2) I start with my GNOME session
3) I connect the pendrive
4) I open Nautilus
5) The pendrive in nautilus appears as mounted
6) In nautilus I hit a right click with the mouse to my pedrive
7) I choose 'Format'
8) A window opens where I can only choose between: ext4, NTFS or FAT
9) I leave the default -> 'NTFS'
10) Next press
11) I change to the next window where the information of what is going to happen appears and I confirm the format
12) Then I return to nautilius
13) The pendrive appears in nautilus
14) It can not be accessed, even though the pendrive is mounted"

Best regards,

All USB bugs should be sent to the linux-usb@vger.kernel.org mailing
list, and not entered into bugzilla.  Please bring this issue up there,
if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
