Title:
  grub-probe only recognizes FAT not FAT32

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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)
