ormat SSD disk - Error formatting volume (Error wipping device: Failed to probe...)
I have new portable SSD disk and I want to format it. Problem is that it is not possible as I did in past over Disks utility.
I followed also lot of instructions from forums but I didn't acchive success result.
Here is some additional information which I got:
lsblk -ape7
Code:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
/dev/sda 8:0 0 3,8T 0 disk
/dev/nvme0n1 259:0 0 476,9G 0 disk

└─/dev/nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 476,4G 0 part /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell
sudo fsck /dev/sda
Code:
fsck from util-linux 2.37.2
e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
sudo e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda
