Formatting a USB flash drive for in Linux using the command line interface (CLI):

# How to Format a USB Flash Drive for Windows and Linux in CLI

# Check the List of Drives and Partitions (List All Block Devices)
lsblk

Note: Identify the correct disk carefully by its size. Selecting the incorrect disk may result in data loss.

In my case, the target disk is:
- sdb (Disk MOUNT)
  - sda1 (Partition MOUNT

# List Selected Disk and Partitions (Disk on the First Line, Partitions Below)
lsblk -fp /dev/sda

# Before Formatting the Disk, First Unmount It from the Linux Machine
sudo umount /dev/sda1

# Wipe Data from /dev/sda (All Partitions Will Be Deleted)
sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda

# Check the Disk and Observe that the Partition Table Should Be Deleted
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

# Create a Partition from Unallocated Space
sudo cfdisk /dev/sda

- Choose label type as DOS
- Select New > Enter
- Choose Primary > Enter
- Select Type > Enter > Choose c W95 FAT32 (LBA) > Enter
- Select Write > Enter > Type Yes > Enter
- Select Quit

# Check the Flash Drive for File System (No Partition Created Yet)
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

# Format the Disk Partition with FAT32 File System (To Create the Partition)
sudo mkfs.vfat -n "USBFAT32" /dev/sda1

# Check the File System of the Disk with Partition 1
lsblk -fp /dev/sda

# Format with NTFS File System
sudo mkntfs -Q -L "USBNTFS" /dev/sdb1

# Format with ext4 (Linux-Based) File System
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L "USBEXT4" /dev/sdb1

# Change the File System to Windows Compatible (FAT32)
sudo mkfs.vfat -n "USBFAT32" /dev/sdb1

# Eject the Flash Drive
sudo eject /dev/sdb

options used in the commands:
-n: Sets the volume label for the filesystem being created.
-L: Specifies the label for the filesystem (used with mkfs commands).
-Q: Performs a quick format (used with NTFS formatting).
-a: Wipes all filesystem signatures from the specified device (used with wipefs).
-l: Lists partition tables and details (used with fdisk).
-f: Forces the operation (used with lsblk to show more details).
-p: Prints the UUIDs and labels of the partitions (used with lsblk).
