Hello, I believe that the map page for mkdosfs is out of date. For the -F option, it specifies that FAT-32 will not be selected automatically, and will always need to be specified if desired. However, the following command indicates that this may not be the case: >>> scrat:~/x# sudo mkdosfs -c -i cafef00d -n Darkhorse -v /dev/sdc1 mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) Auto-selecting FAT32 for large filesystem /dev/sdc1 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track, logical sector size is 512, using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 4000122 sectors; file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 8 sectors per cluster. FAT size is 3899 sectors, and provides 499036 clusters. Volume ID is cafef00d, volume label Darkhorse . Searching for bad blocks 77664... 158432... 239200... 319840... <<< Just to check, specifying FAT-16 explicitly does work: >>> scrat:~/x# sudo mkdosfs -c -i cafef00d -n Darkhorse -v -F 16 /dev/sdc1 mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) /dev/sdc1 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track, logical sector size is 512, using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 4000122 sectors; file system has 2 16-bit FATs and 64 sectors per cluster. FAT size is 245 sectors, and provides 62493 clusters. Root directory contains 512 slots. Volume ID is cafef00d, volume label Darkhorse .
