Title:
  nautilus doesn't display progress bar when formatting SD Card device

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I right my SD Card and click format.  In the Erase drop down, I choose
  'Overwrite existing data with zeroes (Slow)' and when I press format,
  it does format the device but I don't see any progress bar.

  I have an indicator in the panel that shows 'Disk Read' so I know it's
  doing something.  I can also see in the process list that gnome-disks
  is formatting the device, but I'm not sure why there's no GUI progress
  bar.  Having no progress bar is bad since if I format a big SD Card
  which will take a long time, then a normal user won't know that the
  device is being formatted already.

  If I run gnome-disks alone and format the device using it, there is of
  course a progress bar, so maybe the problem is that gnome-disks when
  run with --format-device doesn't display a progress bar that nautilus
  can accept?

  Any pointers how this can be fixed, even in the code.  Thanks.
