 |
|
| Not that it is important, but what package provides mkfs for fat32? I wanted to format EFI partition and had to boot into SysRescueCD to do it. |

| Code: | # man mkfs.vfat
-F FAT-SIZE
Specifies the type of file allocation tables used (12, 16 or 32 bit). If nothing is specified, mkfs.fat will automatically select
between 12, 16 and 32 bit, whatever fits better for the filesystem size. |

| Nope. Re-emerging dosfstools fixed it. Thanks everybody. Funny, running Gentoo since 2004, never needed to make FAT before. |
