I am getting the following error while mounting an SD Card I formatted with this command:

- Format:
Code:
mkfs.vfat -I -F 16 -n "2Go" /dev/sda


- VFAT Error:
Code:
FAT: logical sector size too small for device (logical sector size = 512)


Any idea how I could fix this?

Even on a drive with only one partition, you format and mount the partition (/dev/sda1), not the drive device (/dev/sda).

I know that but it's a card for my mobile phone which could be formated this way.

I tried to create a /dev/sda1 partition but I'm still unable to mount it:

Code:
SCSI device sda: 1994241 1024-byte hdwr sectors (2042 MB)
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
 sda: sda1
FAT: logical sector size too small for device (logical sector size = 512)
FAT: logical sector size too small for device (logical sector size = 512)
