Comment 54 for bug 484252

precise-proposed results, tested with a 4GB USB stick having two partitions :
1. Button and subsequent warning both refer st to erasing the disk, not the partition.
2. If partitions are not mounted, they are not shown individually, instead I just see the whole stick.
3. If partitions are mounted, they are each shown, but pressing the erase button just caused the selected partition to be unmounted. I expected the partition to be formatted or deleted.
4. If neither partiton is selected, the erase button is still enabled. I expected it to be disabled until a partition was selected.

Compounding the inconsistency, I also received the error message "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.". But this time no error was shown in the log.
