After formatting USB drive, "Failed to take ownership"

cd flag

I've used the GUI Disks to format a USB drive just purchased as ext4. After formatting, I get the message:

Failed to take ownership of newly created filesystem: Cannot mount /dev/sda1 at /run/udisks2/temp-mount-BXBBW1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (udisks-error-quark, 0).

I've also tried using gparted to format it. There, I see:

dumpe2fs: Corrupt extent header while reading journal super block</i>

<I>Unable to reads the contents of this file system!

I've tried replacing the partition table, and I've also tried formatting to FAT32 to no success.

Strangely, formatting as FAT works fine and I can use the drive, but I'd prefer not to use FAT if I can avoid it.

Probably defective or about to become so.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
