I’m attempting to format a USB drive, nevertheless I’m confronted with the next error:

sh-3.2# diskutil unmountDisk power /dev/disk3
Compelled unmount of all volumes on disk3 was profitable
sh-3.2# diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ MacOS /dev/disk3
Began erase on disk3
Unmounting disk
Error: -69760: Unable to put in writing to the final block of the gadget
sh-3.2# lsof | grep disk3

May somebody assist me to determine what to do to resolve this subject?

EDIT 2:
