Per the Stable Release Updates policy it is a general rule that the bug be fixed in the development release of Ubuntu before releasing it as an SRU. So that's why sil2100 and raof have both asked about the status of this for impish. Adding information about the plan for impish to the bug description might have avoided some of these questions.

[racb] An upstream "precautionary" partprobe is being added following the mkfs for vfat, when it didn't do this before. This is a change in behaviour that might expose a problem elsewhere. ---------------------------- 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.
