gnome-disks can't create exfat partitions on Hirsute with the Samsung provided tools.

Thanks, indeed that's an udisks issue, I've reported it on https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/882 now

Shouldn't the Suggests of exfat-utils be replaced with exfatprogs if a command is being used from that package?

No, the point is that mkfs.exfat is provided by exfat-utils as well as exfatprogs, I guess udisks could add '| exfatprogs' to its suggests but that's not required for the SRU

Hello darkshadow, or anyone else affected,

Accepted udisks2 into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/2.9.2-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted udisks2 (2.9.2-1ubuntu1) for hirsute have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

gvfs/1.47.91-1ubuntu1 (arm64)
clevis/16-1 (s390x)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Thank you!

The autopkgtest failures are due to flaky tests and not really issue, they worked after a retry

Using the 2.9.2-1ubuntu1 update it's possible to format an exfat partition using either exfat-utils or exfatprogs.

Setting the SRU as verification-done now

This looks like a candidate for release into hirsute-updates, but it's not clear whether or not this is fixed in impish yet. If it's fixed in impish could you please update the bug status, and if it's not fixed in impish yet could you please fix it there? :)

Hey Chris, as written on bug #1925822 for Lukasz that's on our merge list, we will try to get to it today
