You may not always be working on a Linux system using a GUI, like a server or a system with very low resources. Sometimes you may need to format a disk to exFat using the Command Line. It’s not really that difficult.

The first thing you need to do is to know which device is to be formatted so before you connect the disk or USB make sure you run the lsblk command before and after doing so. This way you will be certain not to format the wrong disk by mistake and cause a data loss.
