Hi there,
mkdosfs seems to be broken with kernel 2.6. I ran into the problem while

Hi!
I have a similar problem with DVD+RW media:
# mkdosfs /dev/hda
mkdosfs 2.10 (22 Sep 2003)
mkfs.vfat: unable to get drive geometry for '/dev/hda'
As a workaround I create a regular file and copy that to the DVD+RW
# mkdosfs -C imagefile 450
# dd if=imagefile of=/dev/hda
Whiche then work
