See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-disk-format/ for details.

# use fdisk to format disk:
#  - p – display the partition table
#  - i – show information about a partition
#  - d – delete a partition
#  - n – create a new partition
#  - v – verify the partition table
#  - w – write the new partition table and exit
fdisk

# Format using the ext4 fiel system
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

# mount the drive to /mnt/usbdrive/
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive/

# mount on boot
