#!/bin/bash

echo "Format a disk as ExFAT"

# Example: sudo sh qformat.exfat.sh /dev/sdc "MY_LABEL"

# Check if disk is specified

# Show all disks
# lsblk

# Wipe the disk
sudo wipefs -a ${disk}

# Create a new partition table

# Create a single partition that takes up the entire disk

# Format the partition as exFAT
