Today I was wondering how to format pen drive in opensuse I searched some site
Mounting USB pen drive
1. In Ubuntu desktop, the USB pen drive will be detected and mounted automatically. In Ubuntu server command line terminal, a message will appear to notice you that some information about the USB pen drive that has been plug in or alternatively you can use fdisk command to check whether USB has been mounted or not. Here is sample
1.a. If you get same output as mine then you can get mount location by using mount command
2. If Step 1 didn't work for you, then run dmesg command to identify the correct device name corresponding to the USB pen drive
2.a. Create Mount Point
2.b. Mount USB pen drive
1. To unmount a USB device simply run the following command
OR
NOTE: /media/usb is a mount point.
1. First make sure that USB device is not mounted, if it is then unmount it.
2. Format USB device in fat32 format
Note: You can use mkfs.ext3 to format to ext3 filesystem.
Caution: Enter your device name correctly otherwise it will wip out your entire data.
3. Format and change the Label of the USB drive.
