[Bug 1300361] Re: [SRU] cannot format when no partition table is present

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package usb-creator - 0.2.56.3

---------------
usb-creator (0.2.56.3) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * udisks/backend.py: fix some calls to mount_sync that were missed in the
    port to the UDisks2 API. Thanks to Marc Culler for the patch.
    (LP: #1279987)

  [ Yu Ning ]
  * usb-creator-helper: use parent object only if there is a parent.
    (LP: #1380041)
  * usb-creator-helper: re-create the udisks client otherwise it will not
    return the newly created device or partition. (LP: #1361474, #1300361)
  * usb-creator-helper: use parted instead of udisks2 to create the new
    partition table since udisks2 uses wipefs to erase the old partition
    table, however partition table erasing is not supported in wipefs yet in
    trusty, and that would cause a timed out error.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  cannot erase the disk when no partition table is present

  [Test Case]
  cat /dev/zero >> /dev/sdX to erase the partition table (you can ctrl-c immediately, it's enough that the first bits are erased)

  [Regression Potential]
  Should not affect negatively the normal use case (=usb stick with partition table, one partition vfat formatted).
