This is how you can format your flash drive(thumbdrive, pendrive) in any linux machine
1. To see what is the filesystem for your flashdrive
2. Type -> mkfs /dev/sdb1
(The /dev/sdb1 is according to your outcome of the df command previously: refer above diagram)
This command will format the flash drive to ext3 format which is the default.
To format it to fat;
type -> mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1
