Does anybody know how to auto-confirm "Proceed with Format
(Y/N)?" prompt when running format from the command line?
It's not mentioned anywhere in the help.
 
A more general method that could be used when you don't know about the '/Y'
switch is:
echo y | the_command the_arguments

Meaning 'y' will be input to the command after the pipe character.
 
And you will have problem, when there is valid FS on partition, since it
will require you to type volume label as confirmation that you know what you
want to delete.

/y switch skips that.
