How to format USB memory stick in EXT3

(reference: http://nikste.wordpress.com/2007/01/12/how-to-format-usb-memory-stick-in-linux/)


1. To find out the USB device name run "fdisk -l"
(In this case my stick is /dev/sdb1)

2. Make sure the memory stick isn’t mounted. To unmount, run "umount /dev/sdb1"

3. To format with ext3 filesystem run "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1"

4. To label your stick run "e2label /dev/sdb1"

DONE!!
