Force creation of ext2/3/4 and ntfs on whole disk devices (#683643)
Creation of ext2/3/4 and ntfs file systems fails in GParted on whole disk devices with these errors. # mkfs.ext4 -L "" /dev/sdb < /dev/null mke2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) /dev/sdb is entire device, not just one partition! Proceed anyway? (y,n) # echo $? 1 # mkntfs -Q -v -L "" /dev/sdc /dev/sdc is entire device, not just one partition. Refusing to make a filesystem here! # echo $? 1 Add force flag, -F, to both mkfs commands to make them work. Bug 683643 - Doesn't properly support partitionless drives.
