In this tutorial, the name of the drive am going to format is Seth and its path under the filesystem is /dev/sdc1. Take note of the drive you wish to format. The command above will display the directory path of your various drives. Look for the USB drive you want to format, by running: $ df.At the same time, XFS often required a kernel compile, so it got less attention from end. Prior to EXT4, in many distributions, EXT3 was the default file-system. I live mostly in Linux-land, so I tend to format USB sticks ext4 unless there's a chance it'll need to be accessed on a Windows or MacOS system, in which case I go with FAT32.

As Android is based on Linux, it also uses EXT4 file system. It’s a file format for Linux that aims at extending storage limits and add other performance improvements to devices that use Linux kernel.
