I have got a USB pen called Kingston datatraveler with 2 GB of data and I decided to use it as a backup media for my most important files. But first i needed to format it which was very easy actually. My usb pen was on sdf

sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdf

Put a label on it:

sudo e2label /dev/sdf usbpen

You should now be able to see it under places -> Removable media -> USB pen. Or /media/usbpen (gnome desktop)
