“Reformatting? Has anyone encountered any problems reformatting this flash drive with an ext4 primary partition?”

1-10 of 10 Answers

• Since the first two respondents failed to understand the question--their replies being complete non sequiturs--let me try to clarify. If you have not attempted to reformat this flash drive with an ext4 primary partition, I don't want to hear from you. If you have attempted to reformat the flash drive with an ext4 primary partition, please state whether you encountered any problems, and if so what happened. Examples of problems include failure to mount, corruption of data, output from "dmesg | tail" such as "JBD2: no valid journal superblock found" or "EXT4-fs (sdx1): error loading journal," or "sudo badblocks -w -s" reporting read, write, or comparison errors. The reason I ask is that some cheap 64 GB thumb drives tend to malfunction in these ways.

• I have not tried to do that yet but if you're having trouble, maybe try a dedicated formatting utility for it? Have you tried EaseUS Partition Master? That might work. I have not tried it to do what you are doing but it's worked for other operations. It may be worth looking into.

• I have used this thumb drive for business to transfer accounting files from office to laptop and vice versa. Also I reformat the drive several times a week and NEVER had any problems with it.

• I am not familiar with ext4; I did however format my drive to do an OSX bootable drive and it worked just fine.
