Hi, Manjaro forum,
I recently got a USB thumb drive with a weird problem. I’ve been told that it was removed from the computer while creating a bootable device (I think windows UEFI). it is read-only and named /dev/sda/
.I want to format the device so it can be operable again.
here is some command and their outputs that might be helpful.
please feel free to ask for any other information.
lsblk -a
