So there is no "format this volume" function or command exists, > right? The commands do exist. But they're not in Tianocore, and have non-BSD license, owned by Intel not UEFI Forum. http://www.intel.com/technology/efi/agree_diskutil.htm https://firmwaresecurity.com/2015/09/26/intel-efi-disk-utilities/ But the license is not BSD. It even has a password-protected ZIP, making you read the outer zip's readme for the password. I presume whoever wrote this code at Intel may've read the sources to the Microsoft FAT Windows file system code, thus the harsh license. But now that Microsoft has relicensed the UEFI FAT FS driver, has anyone considered relicense the code to these tools too? Lee (former Microsoft file system PM)
