[Bug 1318954] Re: Error formatting disk "Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)"

[Yu Ning]

If we ignore the timed out error in util-linux/src/udiskslinuxblock.c:
handle_format():

  if (udisks_daemon_wait_for_object_sync (daemon,
                                          wait_for_filesystem,
                                          wait_data,
                                          NULL,
                                          15,
                                          &error) == NULL)
    {
#if 0
      g_prefix_error (&error, "Error synchronizing after initial wipe: ");
      if (invocation != NULL)
        g_dbus_method_invocation_take_error (invocation, error);
      else
        g_clear_error (&error);
      goto out;
#endif
    }

Then gnome-disks can format usb sticks correctly, and usb-creator also works with another patch:
