    Description

      r69590, VBox 5.0.6.

      Repro:

      • attached a second IDE HDD to my VM in VBox as primary slave
      • drive not visible in Explorer
      • booted into usetup, formatted it as FAT32 (then exited so as not to actually install ROS on it)
      • drive is now visible in Explorer -> RMB -> Format...
      • set FS to EXT2, left everything else untouched (no drive label, no quick format)
      • click Format button

      What happens:

      • filesystem is not changed, error in debuglog shown
      • "allocation unit size" text input field disappeared in Format... wizard
      • properties of the drive still say FAT32
      • "unable to get file system of D:\" shortly shown on each bootup
      • after reboot the FS is not recognized and drive is shown with cdrom icon, FS unknown

      Attaching debuglogs from booting ROS and from the formatting action.
