I hate Ubuntu >:(

So Karmic comes with this new Disk Utility called Palimpsest.  It lets you manage disks and partitions, warns you if a disk is failing (finally!), etc.

So I tried using it to delete a partition on a USB flash drive and recreate it.  Just a FAT32 partition; shouldn’t be too difficult.

After it’s done creating and formatting the partition, it displays it as “4.1 GB Unrecognized”.  I go into GParted and the partition is “Unknown”.  Smooth.
