    I'm having major difficulties with formatting a disk in deepin.. I've used both disk utility and gparted...

    gparted gave the following error:

    summary: disk busy while formatting

    It's SSD 😏

    Are you sure it's a known good drive? Have you tried in another computer and/or tried to format with another file system?
