Hello.

   - The creation of partition table and naming of partition when supported
   by selected partition table, succeed.
   - The creation of filesystem fails.

# parted /dev/sdc
(...)
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
(parted) quit
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

*Note:* Unknown instruction in regards to mention "*You may need to update
/etc/fstab*".

# parted /dev/sdc
(parted) print
Model: Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 (scsi)

For example, here is a Gparted v.1.3.1 interpretation:
"Unable to detect file system! Possible reasons are:
- The file system is damaged
- The file system is unknown to GParted
- There is no file system available (unformatted)
- The device entry /dev/sdc1 is missing"
