Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I'm trying to reformat a 4GB USB stick using usb-creator to put karmic-
1. Run usb-creator-gtk
2. usb-creator shows /dev/sdb with exclamation mark, /dev/sdb with storage icon
3. I select /dev/sdb and click "Format"
4. I get a dialog with "Unable to mount 4.0 GB Filesystem" "DBus error org.gtk.
5. I dismiss the dialog
6. I try again to format, instead using /dev/sdb1
7. I get an identical error
8. /dev/sdb1 disappears from the list

As a workaround, I tried zeroing out the first megabyte of the stick:
perseus:[~/iso] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1
perseus:[~/iso] sudo blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
After that, usb-creator shows only /dev/sdb, and lets me format it, though the UI freezes while it does so and Nautilus opens on top of the window. I dismiss Nautilus, and /dev/sdb1 appears in the list, and I can select "Make startup disk" which seems to be working.
