Mkfs

Mkfs gives the user the ability to format a storage device into a certain filesystem type. It goes back to the Unix days, the first version infact. This is not a command that should be toyed around with.

Usage
Basic Usage: mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1
 * The 't' parameter sets the filesystem type to be formatted to.
 * Replace ext3 with the filesystem type that you'd like to use.
 * Replace /dev/sda1 with the storage device you want to format. Double check this.
