Public bug reported:
When attempting to format a usb flash stick and choosing the MBR
partition table, gnome-disk-utility reports "Error sycnchrnonizing after
initial wipe: timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark,0).
Further, it seems to have corrupted the existing partition table,
causing parted to complain "Error: Invalid Partition table - recursive
partition on /dev/sde".
Furthermore, the format dialog is misleading as it gives the option to
perform a quick format that is non destructive and preserves existing
data, which is not what happens when you repartition a disk.
