When I format an usb key, after remount it opens the empty device twice.

[eric]

When I plug an usb device and I format it through right click format, after the task is done, it remounts the device and open the empty device in nautilus twice.
It should open only once.
It could not open at all because if we want to use the usb key to run "create a startup disk" it is no use and if we need to put files in it, we only have to double click the icon on the desktop to open the device.

Thanks a lot for reporting this. I can confirm the behaviour you describe.

I'm not sure which package is responsible for this, but I think it's either mountall, responsible for mounting volumes, or parted, responsible for editing partitions, including formatting them. Since this doesn't happen every time a volume is mounted.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

mountall is responsible for the mounting of statically configured devices at boot time. This sounds like a nautilus issue.

Is parted just suffering from this because it's going through Nautilus?

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

I don't even get an option to format when I right click in nautilus, or unity, but I'm pretty sure that would have nothing to do with parted.

Thank you for filing this bug. I tried to reproduce it in Xenial, but it seems this behavior is no longer happening and very likely is already fixed, so I'm closing this bug as invalid. This is also a duplicate of 686780.
