Proposed as a Blocker for 25-beta by Fedora user me2 using the blocker tracking app because: Violates final release criteria: Default application functionality All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test. All applications installed by default in Fedora Workstation must comply with each MUST and MUST NOT guideline in the Applications and Launchers policy.
This is too niche to be a release blocker. If Disks couldn't show partition tables at all or just failed to start, that's the sort of basic functionality that would be a release blocker. Anyway, the error is being returned by udisks_block_call_format_finish, so let's see what the udisks (storaged) developers think of it.
Has udisksd mounted any file system on the drive having its partition table changed? At the time of the error message what you do get for 'cat /proc/mounts'? And then also what do you get if you issue 'partprobe' on the command line?
sfdisk exits with status 1, fails to re-read the partition table because device or resource is busy. Could be bug 1371761.
I don't have an environment for testing this at hand right now... However: there are quite suspicious AVC denials in the log too. Are you sure they're not related?
Discussed during the 2016-09-12 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to delay the classification of this as a bug was made as we believe it may have been fixed, so we will delay the decision to re-test and clarify the report.

With fully upddated fedora 25 disk works if you disable selinux, so its a problem in selinux. Attaching journal while formatting a flash drive and creating a partition with enforcing=0. gnome-disk-utility-3.21.91-1.fc25.x86_64 selinux-policy-3.13.1-211.fc25.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-211.fc25.noarch storaged-2.6.2-2.fc25.x86_64 util-linux-2.28.2-1.fc25.x86_64
