I fully agree. Especially that former versions of usb-creator didn't show all these additional entries, only a pendrive partition. Now I see not only a pendrive /dev/sdc1 (which it did in past versions) and even not only my external HDD /dev/sdb1-6, but also /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. It says nothing to a user and choosing /dev/sdb would - as I read - make all my data from 1 TB disk incaccessible (yeah, I can try to recover them, but...).
I actually think this is of critical importance. Partition-related issues should be reviewed much closer than other bugs. And the final version of Ubuntu definitely shouldn't be shipped with USB Disk Startup Creator in a state it is now. Besides, for most of my entries there are yellow triangles, sth like a warning - it seems an app can actually tell apart a desired pendrive partition (the only one not triangle-marked - see attached screenshot) from others, it should just go one step further. ** Attachment added: "USB Startup Disk Creator.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33867272/USB%20Startup%20Disk%20Creator.png -- usb-creator operates on mounted filesystems, does not display confirmation dialogs, issue warnings about data loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
