GUI app to format usb in GhostBSD, similar to gparted used in GNU/Linux

Post by ninos »

I hope there is a GUI software package , with which to format a usb drive,
similar to gparted , used in GNU/Linux systems

Can it be done by using StressDisk????

There's got to some sort of format tool GUI for freeBSD but i couldn't tell you where to find one. If you are stuck,gparted is already in Ghost BSD.
enter 'gpart show' in the terminal.That will display the drives mounted

❯ gpart show
=> 40 976773088 ada0 GPT (466G)
40 512 1 freebsd-boot (256K)
552 971528192 2 freebsd-zfs (463G)
971528744 5234688 3 freebsd-swap (2.5G)
976763432 9696 - free - (4.7M)

If usb plugged in.it'll show,too.Then.all has to be done in the terminal.gpart not the same in BSD as in Linux. Here's a link. Not sure the PITA (pain in the ###) rating on this.Doesn't look too bad,though.
