mkfs.exfat: Create filesystem with a volume-name.
$ mkfs.exfat -n ${volume_name} ${-dev-sdb1}
try on your machine
The command "mkfs.exfat -n ${volume_name} ${-dev-sdb1}" is used to create a new exFAT file system on a specific device.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
-
"mkfs.exfat" is the command that creates a new exFAT file system.
-
"-n ${volume_name}" is an option that sets the name of the volume. Replace "${volume_name}" with the desired name for the volume.
-
"${-dev-sdb1}" is the path to the device where the file system will be created. Replace "${-dev-sdb1}" with the correct device path, such as "/dev/sdb1".
So, when you run this command, it will create a new exFAT file system with the specified volume name on the specified device. Make sure to replace the placeholders with the actual values based on your system configuration.
