Hello sailors,

i have a new card as 64gb, and wanted to reformat it.
Since Aurajoki it is possible to use this function under settings/storage/memory card/.
But it don't works with me.
If i go on this point of settings, i see that the card is not accessible because of exfat format ('til now is quite normal).
Then i pull on it and have options format and New directory
Then Under Format i have just a button delete all files. And doing it make nothing more. Null No format the card or other things.

I represented myself that i may reformat my card with different format that are possible to choose.

Have someone any experience on it with this function? Is it a bug or an hidden feature?

Many Thanks in advance for helping.

Format like ext4 or btrfs, as long as it's still possible to have access on it with mtp.

i made:
cd /dev/disk/by-id/
ls -la
cd /dev/disk/by-uuid/
ls -la
To verify/recognise the memory card on the system.

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 - unmount the card
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p1 - format the card
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/sdcard - mount the card

I ask me why then, why this Formatting function not present different kind of formatting systems...
