Title:
  Formatting a removable disk

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The GUI for the Disks application must have been changed in the last
  few years so disk-format.html needs to be revised. The Disks
  application now seems to hide as many of the technical details as it
  can (which in theory I think is a good idea).

  I have a problem in that when I format a USB flash drive using Disks
  (Ubuntu 16.04) - no error is reported during formatting - but Ubuntu
  then doesn't recognise the drive. When I create a partition and format
  it using Gparted it works fine. Ive only tried this with one USB flash
  drive, so the problem may be specific to that drive (or not). If Disks
  doesn't work correctly, we can document how to format a removable disk
  by using Gparted?
