** Description changed: Tried to format a brand new Kingston 512 GB SDXC card (http://www.kingston.com/en/flash/sd_cards) in ext4 using GParted, for storing user data on it. The card can be formatted with no problems with MS Windows 8 (TM) with the built-in formatter (exFAT). It can be written on completely in Windows with c't's h2testw (http://www.heise.de/download/h2testw.html) with no errors, except some notice that due to some NTFS properties 1 MB is reserved and therefore this MB cannot be written on. However, when using GParted or KDE's partitionmanager or gnome-disk- utility, formatting never comes to en end. Steps taken: 1) Writing a GPT or MS-DOS partition table on the card (no obious problems). 2) a) Creating partition using all the space shown as available OR - 2) b) creating partition using everything except 10 MB. + 2) b) creating partition using everything except 10 MB. In both cases choosing ext4. 3) Starting 2) a) OR 2) b). Result: The above-mentioned formatting tools lock up. When I tried to lock format the first times last year, sometimes even the whole system (including mouse) froze. This has not happened after updating the kernel to Ubuntu 4.2.0-25.30-generic 4.2.6, so maybe it has something to do with the kernel. The machine is a DELL Latitude 3150 running Kubuntu 15.10. Please tell me if you need any further information.
