Excuse me, are there any tools that can quickly format large FAT32 partitions under DOS and can be operated using the command line?

Using format, just formatting an 8G new partition takes more than 20 minutes (or even longer? I didn't calculate it carefully, anyway, it just feels extremely long).

For new partitions, the /q parameter cannot be used

You can use third - party partition/formatting tools, such as DM, PM, PHM, PPM

Can you recommend one that is relatively fast but can use the command line?

I partitioned using sfdisk and also did quick format. It's very fast to partition.

It seems I've seen a quick format tool, but I forget where it is. It takes only a few seconds to format a partition.

gdisk can only perform formatting after partition creation, not simple formatting; sfdisk has no command line.

I wonder if there is a formatting tool that can perform simple formatting via the command line and has relatively fast formatting speed?

Using Ghost is also okay. First, save a.gho file with very little content, and then restore it to the disk that needs to be quick-formatted. No matter how large it is, if you cooperate with writing a command-line batch script, it's extremely efficient. Especially, it can format even if there are bad sectors.

Unfortunately, there isn't

I wonder if the partitions created in this way are stable and reliable?

Certainly not reliable, including all quick formats, because they didn't actually format at all.
