Other How to create 1GB Fat32 partition

[balanga]

If I try creating a 1GB Fat32 partition using gpart add -t fat32 -s 1G da0 , I get:-

newfs_msdos: 65503 clusters too few clusters for FAT32, need 65525

when formatting... What should I do?

Well, that error messages doesn’t come from gpart. What command are you trying to execute that is producing that error message?

Either use FAT16 instead ( newfs_msdos automatically picks an appropriate flavor of FAT) or set block size smaller resulting in more clusters, like e.g. -b 8192.
