Errors in dmesg when trying to format a usb flash drive

I'm trying to format it using `mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdb1`, the progress freezes after some seconds and dmesg starts to print a bunch of errors. Aparently at a certain point the device gets removed from the system (not listed in /dev anymore).

Here is dmesg log from the point where I plug the flash drive and start the command up to when /dev/sdb disappears:

I tried this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149384 but it didn't help.
