How can one format a pen drive?


Just as you would any other drive with mkfs, but don't do it. Leave it
as DOS formatted for comptability with Windows machines.

The command that I cited before works fine and the compatibility with
MS Windows machines is not lost.

It is if you format it as a ext2 or ext3 drive.

And both of these will result in premature wearout.
