The output is vfat. Running grml2usb gives Executing grml2usb version 0.16.3 Execution failed: Partition /dev/sdf2 does not contain a FAT16 filesystem. (Use --fat16 or run mkfs.vfat /dev/sdf2) > I assume you're using mkfs.vfat from dosfstools 4.1-2 (your output > looks similar to what I get on current buster)? Yes it is from dosfstools 4.1-2 Thanks Elimar -- You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.
