Of course this does not work. As the Floppy appears as SCSI device it does not
understand the fd specific IOCTLs used by fdformat.
fdformat and mformat are completely different tools. fdformat does a low-level
formatting, while mformat writes a MSDOS filesystem to the disk.
Since mformat works, I assume that the disk medium has previously been already
formatted.
I am currently not sure how formatting is done on USB Floppies. I guess this is
done via SCSI commands. I will try to find a USB Floppy here.
Can you try if sg_format works?
