I am trying to format my usb stick on /dev/sdc
, partition sdc1
:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdc1
I get the following for a few seconds, no error:
mkfs.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
However, sudo fdisk -l
lists /dev/sdc1
as 'Linux':
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 2048 122879999 61438976 83 Linux
and I still can't mount it on a FAT32-only system.
I have tried to zero the stick first, sfdisk, removing -F 32
, nothing works.
How do I format my USB stick?
Edit: I tried to format from nautilus. It doesn't work either, but at least I get an error message:
"Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)"
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbdrive/ -o umask=000
, I can create a file at the mount point.
