no, of course it is not a bug and not caused by an update. it is an inherent problem with micro$oft formatting. they do not set the standard and seldom attempt to adhere to *any* standard which does not suit their purpose.
You get the same failure formatting with Linux gparted, for instance. In fact, we learnt of this problem from people that only used Linux. It is a "bug" of most formatters trying to end fast, thus not erasing the areas the new filesystem they are creating doesn't use, because it takes time. Then there is a secondary bug - the one people see: Bug 1046268 - USB Keys are mis-identified by device notifier But: «This bug got reassigned to udisks because it was shown that udsisk already has wrong filesystem type. Both KDE and XFCE (should) use udisks as backend to discover and mount devices so should have the same issue.» (Andrei Borzenkov) There is a modification you can do to file "/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-persistent-storage-compat.rules" to bypass the problem - comment out this line: ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", IMPORT{parent}="ID_*" -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
