formatting a usb drive

Peter

I believe so

mount | grep sdc
/dev/sdc1 on /media/lupusiat/9E2B-3CB5 type vfat 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1001,gid=1001,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

Regards

Ian Taylor
