bash - Formatting multiple USB sticks in Linux -
i'm trying write program in bash format 7 usb sticks @ once , create new partition each usb stick. problem usb sticks varying makes , models , sizes , need find size of available space on stick , create partition size.
this 1 create filesystems still doesn't partition them before creating. save script script.sh
#!/bin/bash command=("mkfs.ext4" "-option1" "-option2") ## change depending on formatting tool you'll use. dev; echo "creating filesystem $d." read -p "continue? " && [[ $reply == [yy] ]] || break ## remove line if don't want confirm. "${command[@]}" "$dev" done
and run bash script.sh /dev/yourdevice1 [/dev/yourdevice2]
example:
bash script.sh /dev/sdc /dev/sdd1
be careful , check arguments before running script.
