Comment (by humdinger):

 I was about to say, "can't replicate"... (with hrev51402).

 It works, if you unmount the partition in DriveSetup. Then the partition
 stays visible in DriveSetup, just not mounted.[[BR]]
 If you unmount the partition in Tracker, however, all the partions on the
 USB stick disappear in DriveSetup, leaving only the /dev/disk/usb/0/0/raw
 device and no way to select and format a partition on it.

 No idea if that's a bug or feature.
