[Bug 965108] [NEW] usb-creator-gtk can't reserve user-space more 2GB

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

usb-creator-gtk can't reserve user-space more than 2GB. It was tested
against 8GB flash and ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso.

usb-creator-gtk itself advertises ability of 4GB max. of user-space for
8GB fat32 flash, obviously restricted to fat32 max. file size standard.
But actually usb-creator-gtk stucks hamming with in 2GB to 4 GB user-
space sizes. At sizes 3GB to 4GB it simply erases created user-space
file finishing its creation. At sizes 2Gb to 3GB it just stucks at some
magic percent of 'finished amount' .

Moreover, it would be good idea to allow usb-creator-gtk to use other
FSs (like ext4, ntfs) with weaker file size restrictions to allow users
to obtain more user-space in ones favour.
