I created a partition on a 8gb usb pendrive using mkdosfs. However,
after mounting the drive, I see only 80mb available. Is there a way
to create a bigger partition?
Thanks in advance

mkdosfs does not create any partition, it formats the partition to
VFAT, but it has to be created first. In your example

Partition the drive
As stated, mkfs commands just do the fs layout stuff and not the
partitioning. In order to do partitioning I'd either use fdisk or gparted.
For fdisk, (off the top of my head);
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
p
d 1
(Repeat until there are no listings)
n p 1 (accept defaults)
p (you should see one linux native
I sort of found a solution for myself. Remove all partitions from usb
drive. Format the drive using mkdosfs -I /dev/sda. This gives me now
access to the entire drive.
