A method and a host processing device are provided for background formatting, or de-icing, an optical medium with no de-icing assistance from an optical drive upon which the optical medium is mounted. In a foreground mode, an optical medium may be initially formatted, volume structures may be recorded on the optical medium, file system information may be written thereto, and quick grow formatting may be performed to make the optical medium writable, at least sequentially. Under initiation and control of a file system, executing on a host processing device, the optical medium may be formatted, or de-iced, in a background mode with no assistance from an optical drive, upon which the optical medium is mounted. Under control of the file system, blocked input or output activity, may be allowed to access the optical medium upon pausing the formatting, or de-icing.
