If you don't need the files on the stick (as you mentioned on another
post), then I'd recommend formatting it using exfat. Works on both Linux
and Windows. Emerge sys-fs/fuse-exfat and mounting exfat sticks will
happen automatically, just like as if it was ext4.
To format the stick you can use sys-fs/exfat-utils (it installs
mkfs.exfat.) Or format it under Windows. You probably should erase the
partition first under Linux though so that Windows sees all space as
unclaimed. Just remember to select exfat instead of fat32 when you
format it.
I've read that one should use SDFormatter version 4 (on Windows)
Never heard of it. Sounds like it's for SD cards, not USB sticks?
