<root>cchiappa-lnx!pts/0[7]/# mkdosfs /dev/sda5 mkdosfs 2.10 (22 Sep 2003) mkdosfs: Attempting to create a too large file system <root>cchiappa-lnx!pts/0[8]/# mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda5 mkdosfs 2.10 (22 Sep 2003) Given how large hard disks are these days (sda in this case is the smallest I own, 20GB), how ubiquitous Win95 and beyond are, and how mature Fat32 support is in Linux, I would say that any time an explicit Fat size hasn't been specified (-F) and Fat16 won't work, Fat32 should be automatically selected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dosfstools depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
