The usb drive will appear as something like /dev/sda, and is likely to already have a partition table that contains a single partition, /dev/sda1. As you are talking about UFS and all those other file systems, my guess is that this is a Mac OS X volume or something - which does not use windows partition table formats (which linux does use), so you may need to use fdisk or cfdisk. You can format /dev/sda1 just like any other partition or device. something similar to the following should work: mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
