Additional info:

Comment 1 Martin Bříza 2016-09-20 09:33:14 UTC
What about after reinserting, does lsblk see it? It may be worth testing this outside of a virtual machine due to the changes to its layout.

Comment 2 lnie 2016-09-20 09:48:07 UTC
After reinserting,lsblk see it,but the Nautilus doesn't.
Mediawriter can see the usb,but the usb's reaction to "Create live usb" is different,please see #bz1377604 for more information.
And I got the following errors when I try to mount it to see what's in it.
[lnie@localhost ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mount: /dev/sdc1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

Comment 3 Martin Bříza 2016-09-20 09:49:33 UTC
Does it have only one or more partitions? It should have three.

Comment 4 lnie 2016-09-20 09:59:47 UTC
Just one:
sdb                             8:16   1  29.5G  0 disk 
└─sdb1                          8:17   1  29.5G  0 part

Comment 5 Kamil Páral 2016-09-20 13:05:34 UTC
Please note that there are currently some issues in selinux that probably cause Nautilus to not show usb devices. Use e.g. gnome-disks to inspect drive contents.

Comment 6 lnie 2016-09-21 05:52:40 UTC
After format the usb using gnome-disks,Nautilus can see the usb device now.

Comment 7 Martin Bříza 2016-09-21 07:27:04 UTC
This is most likely caused by the current selinux policies, I was trying to debug a similar issue yesterday and it was fixed by switching to permissive selinux (setenforce 0).

Comment 8 Martin Bříza 2016-09-21 12:16:09 UTC
I can't fix the writing but the problem with detecting the drive afterwards should be fixed upstream now
