Hi@akhtar,

In Linux, you can find lots of commands to format your volume like mkfs, nfs, etc. You can use mkfs command to format your volume as shown below.

[root@localhost ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/myvg/mylv
mke2fs 1.44.3 (10-July-2018)
Creating filesystem with 14417920 4k blocks and 3604480 inodes
Filesystem UUID: b5c7d06f-865c-488e-9b99-f4eb99961b7b
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
        32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
        4096000, 7962624, 11239424
Allocating group tables: done
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (65536 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

I hope this will help you.
