View source for Create filesystem on partition using mkfs on Linux machine

This guide has presumed there is already a partition/s created on the disk. This will cover configuring a filesystem on a partition using the mkfs command.

To create the filesystem use the command:

:  sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 (using a fat32 fs on disk sdb first partition)

Use the mount command to mount the filesystem if not already done so.
