Cubietruck with SSD Drive

[Klaush]

I now connected a ssd drive to my cubietruck. with

ls /dev/ | grep sd

I got sda, but when I try to format this drive with

 

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

 

I get this errormessage:

 

Could not stat /dev/sda1 --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

 

How can I format the ssd ?

You need to create a partition, with fdisk /dev/sda ... create, write, exit. Than you proceed with mkfs.
