methods to change a usb stick format to ext4 from fat32
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58ZN3)
I can't find a collection of method to change an usb stick to linux acceptable format.
I have a 32Gb usbstick that i want to use as timeshift snapshot storage. but it says it is not linux format..
Instead of using Gparted, is there any other way ? I was thinking if it it possible to change the format without formating the whole storage and causing detroy of data on it.
also
Can you guys please contribute to a complete list of method ? i want to keep a record of it.. and try some method also, like simple and easy method.
Anything outside of that listed in Code:https://linuxhint.com/format_usb_drive_linux/thx
