Hi Ian and Alberto,

*Done*

I created the bug report #1622313, "gparted does not recognize the 
iso9660 file system in cloned Ubuntu USB boot drives"

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/1622313

I did it from Xenial daily 'looking at' its own iso file as cloned.

Please mark 'affects me too', if it affects you. It would also be 
valuable to check in other versions of Ubuntu, particularly in Trusty 
alias 14.04.x LTS, because many people will install fresh Xenial systems 
from old Trusty systems.

Best regards
Nio
