- `-force` can be used to force the partition to be cleared and recreated (if applicable), and the recreated partition formatted. This option would be used to re-init the partition on every boot, rather than persisting the partition between boots.
- `-label` can be used to give the disk a label
- `-type` can be used to specify the type. This is `ext4` by default but `btrfs` and `xfs` are also supported
- `-partition` can be used to specify the partition table type. This is `dos` by default but `gpt` is also supported
- `-verbose` enables verbose logging, which can be used to troubleshoot device auto-detection and (re-)partitioning
- The final (optional) argument specifies the device name
