SSD

Create New Partition

What is currently on the ssd

lsblk -p -o NAME,SIZE,MODEL,FSTYPE,PARTTYPENAME,LABEL,UUID,MOUNTPOINTS /dev/sda

expected result:

/dev/sda
├─/dev/sda1   128M         Microsoft reserved partition
└─/dev/sda2 476.8G ntfs  Microsoft basic data

no mountpoint should be visible!

Create one big partition

  sudo parted --script --align optimal /dev/sda \
  mklabel gpt \
  mkpart primary ext4 1MiB 100%

check result with

lsblk -f /dev/sda   # and
blkid /dev/sda1

expected result like:

user@raspberrypi2b:~ $ lsblk -f /dev/sda
NAME   FSTYPE FSVER LABEL    UUID                                 FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS
