There is a regression somewhere between udisks, udev, and dosfstools. Formatting a device with vfat hangs and fails:

# blkid -p /dev/sda
(nothing)

 busctl call org.freedesktop.UDisks2 /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block Format 'sa{sv}' vfat 0
(long pause)
Call failed: Error synchronizing after formatting with type `vfat': Timed out waiting for object

# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTUUID="3690494f" PTTYPE="dos"

OTOH, formatting as ext4 works fine:

# wipefs -a /dev/sda; wipefs -a /dev/sda
# busctl call org.freedesktop.UDisks2 /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block Format 'sa{sv}' ext4 0
(immediately succeeds)

# blkid -p /dev/sda
/dev/sda: UUID="8bea7475-6af5-4835-86d0-0e5b2cb5500e" VERSION="1.0" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" USAGE="filesystem"

I tested this to a QEMU emulated disk, but it reproduces equally well against a `modprobe scsi_debug` device.
