from $man mkfs.vfat
-F FAT-size
Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (12, 16
or 32
bit). If nothing is specified, mkdosfs will
automatically
select between 12 and 16 bit, whatever fits better
for the
filesystem size. 32 bit FAT (FAT32 format) must
(still) be
selected explicitly if you want it.
sorry if the format of that text sucks - but I am sure will figure out
how to it from reading the mkfs.vfat man page.
