** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu Precise)
Status: Triaged => In Progress
** Description changed:
- "Erase Disk" action formats *all* partitions, instead of the selected
- partition only.
+ [rational]
+ "Erase Disk" action formats *all* partitions, instead of the selected
partition only.
+
+ [test case]
+ 1) Start usb creator
+ 2) Select an individual partition
+ 3) Click on erase/format
+ 4) Check that the other partitions haven't been touched
+
+ [regression potential]
+ The fix has been in quantal for a while and peer reviewed before that, this
fix leads to quite a bit of code being moved around but still limited to the
erase/formatting code.
+ As it's code doing drive formatting, regressions can be pretty nasty with
potential dataloss, though I can't find any indication that it'd affect another
block device than that selected and so the worst case scenario I can see is
basically what we currently have in precise (wiping a partition wipes the whole
drive).
