Since, as others point out, you can have a multi-partitioned USB device, and dealing with that can be less than obvious without using partitioning software. While it would be nice to not need another utility, but Fedora makes reformatting things like external drives harder than other OSs, where you can right-click and format a USB drive from the desktop, so I think we do need it. Likewise with renaming drives/partitions (Fedora doesn't let you do it easily, particularly DOS/Windows ones). Yes, I understand the point of making these an admin/wheel-group restriction, but that ought to be do-able from a right-click and reformat option, not requiring another program to do the job, just pop-up an authentication prompt. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
