parted has helped me format drives in the past too. It should work on
debian too. In archlinux I did:
lsblk
Then checked id of new drive on system. If it's sdb
parted -a optimal /dev/sdb
Then I did:
unit mib
Then I did:
print
That shows what if anything is already on the disk.
If the type of dis
n it, so I like to wipe the partition and reformat it, in case
they get infected during manufacturing.

mkfs isn't a comman
mkfs isn't a command. mkfs is a prefix. If yu want to put an ext4
partition on a drive you use mkfs.ext4. You might check for that command
and check for the other mkfs commands as well.

I should add that sudo mkfs is a bad command, with the needed parameters.
So if mkfs is not in my Debian, how might I install it?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a 64 GB thumb drive I plugged into my Debian Bullseye, CLI, no GUI.
In the old days I used parted to format drives, and fdisk does not seem to
have that feature.
How does one format a drive in the CLI?
Thanks.
Glenn
