[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

*OS:* Fedora | *Component:* parted-3.4-2.fc34.x86_64
*parted mode: *interactive
*Target device:* 256 MiB USB-storage
*Starting state:* existence alone of partition table; then no partition.

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)
Disk /dev/sdc: 255MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End    Size   Type     File system  Flags
 1      1049kB  255MB  254MB  primary               lba
 (parted) quit

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"
