Linux: format USB to exFAT

To format USB flash card to exFAT file system we need this set of commands:

  1. sudo -i
  2. fdisk -l (this will provide mounted disk path, in my case it was /dev/sdc1)
  3. mkfs.exfat -n SOME_DISK_LABEL /dev/sdc1
  4. fsck.exfat /dev/sdc1 (this only need to be sure that disk was formatted w/o issues)
