name is
/dev/fctx where x indicates the device number. (The number reflects the

Options
fio-format
Description
Performs a low-level format of the ioDrive. (This format is distinct from a format
performed by Windows.) The fio-format utility displays a progress bar and percentage
as it completes the format.
Note: The ioDrive ships pre-formatted and does not require the use of fio-format
except to change the logical size of the device.
Caution: Use this utility with care, as it deletes all user information on the ioDrive.
