Hello Martin, or anyone else affected, Accepted udisks2 into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/2.9.2-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Description changed: * Impact Formatting devices to vfat fails in some cases due to an incompatibility with the new dosfstools version * Test case see comment #5 or - $ sudo modprobe scsi_debug - check what device is assigned - $ sudo busctl call org.freedesktop.UDisks2 /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/DEVNAME org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block Format 'sa{sv}' vfat 0 (replace DEVNAME by the actual device name, 'sdc' for example) the formatting should work which you can verify by - $ blkid -p /dev/DEVNAME * Regression potential The changes is specific to vfat handling so that's the feature to focus on while testing, make sure than creating, deleting, renaming vfat partitions from gnome-disks is working. + [racb] An upstream "precautionary" partprobe is being added following + the mkfs for vfat, when it didn't do this before.
