Normally you don't call that directly, but call it through `mkfs` with the -t option. mkfs -t vfat <device> I would expect that all modern Linux distros support full read/write permissions on FAT drives. There's plenty of other people who have this issue, not just TDE: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux+cannot+move+file+to+trash To support "move to trash", your drive needs to have a hidden trash directory. That's the case for other desktops, I assume TDE requires the same. I think that's normally called something like .Trash-1000 where the number at the end is your user id. Do you have write permission in top (root) directory of the USB stick? If you do an `ls -a` of that directory, can you see a hidden trash directory, and do you have permissions to write to it? If you make any changes to the permissions, you probably should unmount and remove the USB stick, then remount it, just in case TDE doesn't spot the changes. -- Steve
