Public bug reported:
I have two different external USB hard drives attached. Each of them has
just one partition. The devices/partitions are visible in nautilus on
the left hand side. I want to format them, so I do a right click on the
device/partition in nautilus and select "Format...". In response,
NOTHING happens. It's the same thing with both partitions. My
expectation would be that a window opens allowing me for different
options of formatting, like file system type and encryption options.
