[opensuse] Trying to format a usb memory
When I try to format using: sudo /sbin/mkfs.vfat -F 32 MULTIBOOT /dev/sdb1 I get the following error: mkfs.vfat 3.0.10 (12 Sep 2010) MULTIBOOT: No such file or directory I copied this from a message on e-mail. Can someone point me towards an answer? Bob R -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Bob the immediate answer is "man mkfs.vfat" - which will tell you that "MULTIBOOT" doesn't belong there. It might be a volume label, but then there is a '-n" missing: mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n MULTIBOOT /dev/sdb1 -- Per Jessen, Zürich (29.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n MULTIBOOT /dev/sdb1 You are right on. I had to add /sbin/ in front of the mkfs.vfat and after that it work like a charm. Thanks so much. Bob R
