For people who love using command line, you want everything to be done with command line, including formatting a hard drive, usb stick, sd card, etc.
To format hard drive using command line you can use tool called mkfs, it's already there on your lubuntu installation, so no need to install, you can use it right away.
There are few steps you need to do before running the mkfs command, first you need to know the path of the device that you are going to format, like for example: /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc2, etc.
You can find out the path of the storage device by running df command, like this:
If the storage device is listed on df command, then must be it is currently mounted, next step you need to un-mount the storage device you are going to format.
Let's say i'm going to format /dev/sdc1 which is my 2GB kingston usb stick memory, to un-mount it i need to run this command:
After the storage device is un-mounted, you can start formatting using mkfs command, here's an example formatting into FAT32 file system.
~ happy formatting ~
