Make sure the Cruzer is not mounted (run mount command)
Use fdisk to delete the existing FAT32 partition,
then create a new Linux partition like so:
root@zundap:/home/zundap# fdisk /dev/sdb
Command (m for help): d
Selected partition 1
Command (m for help): n
Partition type:
p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
e extended
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-1986047, default 2048):
Using default value 2048
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-1986047, default 1986047):
Using default value 1986047
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.
root@zundap:/home/zundap#
You first run "fdisk -l" in root term to be sure you have
located the Cruzer's proper device node (/dev/sdX).
Then once you have determined the proper device block
that the Cruzer actually is located at you run
"fdisk /dev/sdb" (if the Cruzer was located at sdb
determined via output of "fdisk -l") in same root term.
You will now be at the fdisk prompt,
where you type "d" then enter to delete the VFAT partition
on the Cruzer. Then type "n" then enter to create
a new partition, then type "p" then enter to select
for a primary partition.
Then hit enter twice to accept the defaults
if using the whole Cruzer as one primary partition.
Then lastly type "w" then enter to write changes to disk.
If you screw up at anytime type "q" then enter
to start from the top again. (before entering w)
Then you need to create a filesystem on the Cruzer
using mke2fs. Do so from same root terminal.
Type "mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1" then enter key
to create a ext2 filesystem as in this example below:
root@zundap:/home/zundap# mke2fs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Filesystem label=

To copy the mandravia data to Cruzer use rsync to do so.
Mount both the mandravia partition and the Cruzer first.
Run "fdisk -l" in root term to be sure you have located
the proper device nodes of each partition. Once you have,
create the mount points on the filesystem and mount each.
Example below:
mkdir -p /mnt/sda5;mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5
mkdir -p /mnt/sdb1;mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
rsync -av --delete /mnt/sda5/ /mnt/sdb1
Substitute sda5 for actual partition your data is on.
