Hi David!
I'm one of those who requested this behavior.
I was stunned by the fact that, as a normal user, I couldn't do such
simple tasks as formatting my usb memory stick which had stopped
working.
In a modern system, you should be able to right click and select
Format... and just do it.
If
There is a major security flaw with this new functionality, why should
non-admin users be permitted to format storage?
Formatting using existing tools such as gparted require a sudo password,
but now Linux bypasses this obvious security requirement for some
nebulous user convenience, what is this

Unfortunately this depends on large changes to underlying hardware
management system and it would be impossible to forward this to Jaunty
without changing it into a half Karmic.

This should already be fixed in both Karmic and Lucid. Therefore I'm marking it
as Fix Released.

Glad to hear there is progress in this =)
It is embarrassing when Ubuntu can't do such basic operations without
using the console! This is one step in bringing the OS in bar with other
modern systems.
Michael is right about the need for options. I am keen with the
simplicity of Gnome when it

But i would still feel more comfortable if these options are better of

Having come from another system, I am sure that is what makes sense.
TBH, that was something I hated.

Good news!
This feature is included in Karmic now (i saw it today on
nautilus-2.27.91/Gnome 2.27.91)
So i change the status of the bug to fix released!

e this option (they are random-access read/write media like floppies or
USB drives, so it should do it for DVD-RAM media just as it does for
others).
Also, the option does not show up in the places sidebar for media; only
in Computer.
Work has progressed, but this bug isn't fixed completely yet.
Format in a context menu is a very risky move! It should *not* be accessible so
easily.
A context menu is only for commonly used actions and format is not a commonly
used action for *most* users.
The sensible location for this option is in the properties window ,
similar to how Windows does
It presents a dialog with what appears to be a very underpopulated list
of filesystem choices not based on what the system is capable of doing.
The clue that it does not take immediate action but presents a dialog is
that the text is format... not format (note the ellipsis).

Echoing what Juan said, gdu-format-tool seems like the best fit for
this, given that it uses both devicekit-disks and policykit, and is
written by the upstream for devicekit. We include gnome-disk-utility in
karmic universe, but the Debian binary package does not include gdu-
format-tool.

People on GNOME are going to use an extension to nautilus called
nautilus-gdb. Problem is that bug on upstream is unconfirmed. ¿Any
proposed dates?

GNOME indeed doesn't provide a 'format disk' program. The closest is
gparted, which doesn't get installed by default and must be run as root.
Some work has been done in gnome-format, which was proposed for GNOME
2.22 at one point but this hasn't been packaged.
