[Bug 484252] Re: Format action wipes all partitions

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: usb-creator
- 
- I have two partitions on my stick: FAT-32 boot partition and Ext-4 without journal one. So, the program shows: 1) FAT partions, Ext 4 partition, Whole drive.
- I can only choose one item in the list: fat, ext4 or whole drive. I suppose the utility only formats selected partition (and leaves other ones alone) or formats the whole drive into Fat-32. But it doesn't. It formats the whole stick into one big Fat-32 partition, which is highly inconsistent.
