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?
