I’m looking to setup a usb thumb drive on my HA raspi, just as a small network share repository. How do I format it?

Thanks for your help.

Not what I asked, and you should ask for clarification rather than inferring, or give use cases.

Right, I should have asked about your installation method. Sorry. How is HA installed? If you show me lsblk -o+FSTYPE,MODEL I can give you commands.
