This is the first time the need to format a USB has come up since switching to EnOS, and I am unsure how this is done. I don’t see any GUI tools built into the OS, nor was I able to find anything in the EnOS Wiki page. I’d like to learn both GUI and Konsole methods. If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated. Thanks!
You can use gparted or partitionmanager. Both work well.
For the console method, you use lsblk to identify the device name.
If it is a thumb drive, you would usually just format the entire device. For example you could do something like:
sudo mkfs.exfat /dev/sdx
Replace /dev/sdx with the actual device name. Be careful not to specify the wrong device here!
If it is a hard drive, you would usually put a partition table on it, create a partition and then format the partition.
