GNOME uses 'nautilus' to display the file-managing part of the desktop; when a external (eg. USB) hard disk has been mounted on the desktop after insertion, there is no easy visible way to reformat the drive.

Obvious places would be:

  Right Clicking on the drive on the desktop->Format... (eg. below Eject)
  Places->Computer->Right Click->Format...
  Administration->Disks

See http://live.gnome.org/gnome-format

I think we're going for nautilus-gdu [1] as an extension, rather than gnome-format.

Comment 6 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-05-28 00:13:03 UTC 
This is OBSOLETE now that nautilus-gdu can do the trick.
