 mkfs.vfat 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 2097152 sectors;
 file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 8 sectors per cluster.
 FAT size is 2044 sectors, and provides 261629 clusters.
 Volume ID is 4239e1d5, no volume label.

which is just plain wrong.


Using mkfs.vfat from RHEL3 u4 (v2.8) gives:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[/dev/shm] # ./mkfs.vfat -v -F 32 /dev/sdc1
 mkfs.vfat 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
 Selecting 64 sectors per cluster
 /dev/sdc1 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track,
 logical sector size is 512,
 using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 80405262 sectors;
 file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 64 sectors per cluster.
 FAT size is 9813 sectors, and provides 1256025 clusters.
 Volume ID is 4239e53b, no volume label.

which is correct.
