Dear Maintainer,

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Insert flash drive
2. Start gnome disk utility
3. Using gnome disk utility unmount automounted partitions on inserted flash
drive
4. Delete partitions on inserted flash drive
5. Create new partition: LUKS + Ext4

Error popup appears:
"Error wiping newly created partition /dev/sde1: Command-line `wipefs -a
"/dev/sde1"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: wipefs: error: /dev/sde1:
probing initialization failed: No such file or directory
 (udisks-error-quark, 0)"

Encrypted partition does not get created.


For the info:
During the procedure, I have couple external encrypted USB hard drives already
attached and mounted.


Best regards,
Svjatoslav
