@Gunnar. Yes I'll make a note to check what other pages need to be changed (presumably you mean other pages that describe how to use the Disks application?). I think it's straightforward to revise disk- format.html.
On a related point: it seems to me that it will be quite common for users to want to "reuse" a removable disk - that's what I wanted to do which led me to discover that disk-format.html was out of date - (the steps would be something like this: format it, create a partition, and mount the partition). Can I create a new (short) page to describe this? It can be linked to from disk.html? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651360 Title: Formatting a removable disk Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: The GUI for the Disks application must have been changed in the last few years so disk-format.html needs to be revised. The Disks application now seems to hide as many of the technical details as it can (which in theory I think is a good idea). I have a problem in that when I format a USB flash drive using Disks (Ubuntu 16.04) - no error is reported during formatting - but Ubuntu then doesn't recognise the drive. When I create a partition and format it using Gparted it works fine. Ive only tried this with one USB flash drive, so the problem may be specific to that drive (or not). If Disks doesn't work correctly, we can document how to format a removable disk by using Gparted?
