[Bug 924103] [NEW] grub-probe only recognizes FAT not FAT32

[Rolf Leggewie]

Public bug reported:

This happens on an up-to-date lucid system.  Please let me know whether
or not you can reproduce this on a more recent release.  grub-probe
recognizes a FAT16 partition fine (on an CD card in the internal reader)
but not a FAT32 partition on a USB stick.

$ sudo grub-probe --device /dev/sdb1
fat
$ sudo grub-probe --device /dev/sdc1
grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
$ sudo fdisk -l|grep FAT
/dev/sdb1               1         973      249072    6  FAT16
/dev/sdc1   *           1        1015      990609+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
