[parted-devel] no warning when formatting >32G fat32 partitions

[Viktor Vasilev]

Hi,

I tried to create and format a big, 120GB fat32 partition and the operation 
completed successfully. The problem is that I'm unable to mount the 
partition afterwards. I tried creating such a big partition with the 
windows partition editor under XP and it refused (gave me only NTFS as FS 
option). Now that I googled a bit and educated myself about fat32 it is 
clear that there is a 32GB boundry, beyond which fat32 is unusable. 
Shouldn't parted give a warning in such situations?


Cheers,
Vik
