Over time with use of Disk utility I realized that there are a few time when I try to do something and the message given is unclear about a missing package. I have gotten this in the pas trying to encrypt a disk without cryptsetup installed and now with XFS.
Error creating file system: Cannot run mkfs: cannot spawn 'mkfs.xfs -L "New Volume" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkfs.xfs" (No such file or directory)
I would expect the program to either:
-Not display features until those packages are installed
-Interact with gnome-app-install to propose easy installation of needed packages
