Mounting and formatting software
by Drosera_capensis from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WGQZ)
Hello everyone,
I am working on Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo).
Every couple of months, I have to format a USB stick to be used on different Unix and non-Unix OS.
Each time I am going through a series of mounting to detect the drive, then format it :
Code:sudo fdisk -l
mkdir /mnt/external
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/externalIt is never working properly at different stages (mounting, formatting, compatibility), and it is tedious and time-consuming.
I always end up using a Windows computer to make the job.
Would anyone know a software on snap or else that would make the job of mounting and formatting drives with compatibility with other OS?
