Seems so odd that such a basic feature is not included. Seems silly 
to have to revert to the command line or gparted to perform such a 
basic function. Traditionally formatting has been a super user 
function, but with removable devices that should be a user 
function. Not to disregard tradition, we probably should ensure no 
Format menu options appear for fixed devices. Or mounted devices. :-

I'll write the request.
