在终端使用Mac diskutil 命令格式化顽固U盘

经常遇到某些U盘合并不了分区、格式化不了、windows 下识别不了、空间“丢失”等情况，使用Mac 系统自带的图形化磁盘工具也解决不了问题，在终端下能轻松搞定，这里记录一下过程。

用 diskutil list 查看硬盘：

$diskutil list
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *3.9 GB     disk2
   1:             Windows_FAT_16                         3.1 GB     disk2s1

格式化为 FAT32 格式

$ sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 MYUSB MBRFormat /dev/disk2
Password:
Started erase on disk2
Unmounting disk
Creating the partition map
Waiting for partitions to activate
Formatting disk2s1 as MS-DOS (FAT32) with name MYUSB
512 bytes per physical sector
/dev/rdisk2s1: 7634336 sectors in 954292 FAT32 clusters (4096 bytes/cluster)
bps=512 spc=8 res=32 nft=2 mid=0xf8 spt=32 hds=255 hid=2048 drv=0x80 bsec=7649280 bspf=7456 rdcl=2 infs=1 bkbs=6
Mounting disk
Finished erase on disk2

如果上面的命令失败，可尝试下面的命令，需要指定大小

diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 1 MBRFormat "MS-DOS FAT32" MYUSB 3.9G

其中 MYUSB 是自定义的U盘名，不能包含小写字母，否则会出错：

myUsb does not appear to be a valid volume name for its file system

可以通过 diskutil listFilesystems 查看支持的格式

$ diskutil listFilesystems
Formattable file systems

These file system personalities can be used for erasing and partitioning.
When specifying a personality as a parameter to a verb, case is not considered.
Certain common aliases (also case-insensitive) are listed below as well.

格式化后再查看磁盘情况

$ diskutil list
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *3.9 GB     disk2
   1:                 DOS_FAT_32 MYUSB                   3.9 GB     disk2s1
