My memory of what I did under pCP to format an SSD in the Argon case
isn't great, but I can give some clues.
>From your dmesg it looks like the SSD is device sda. If you SSH into
the RPi and type
Code:
--------------------
fdisk -l
--------------------
you should see some output like this:
Code:
--------------------
tc@pCPTV:~$ fdisk -l

--------------------
In the above example, I have /dev/sda which is the SSD in the Argon
case, /dev/sdb which is a 1Tb external drive, and dev/sdc which is a
16Gb SD card.
For each of these devices there are partitions on the drive, e.g.
/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdc2 etc. So if this command
confirms that your SSD is /dev/sda then look to see if it has a
partition /dev/sda1.
If it doesn't, you'll need to create one. Use:
Code:
--------------------
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
--------------------
...type 'm' to see the command options, then use the appropriate
commands to create a new partition, type 83, then write the partition
table to the disk and exit.
Then you'll need to format the partition:
Code:
--------------------
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
--------------------
*EDIT: That mkfs.ext4 command may need to be preceded with 'sudo'
