I've got a partition I want to format as FAT32 but it doesn't want to
work.  Is there a size limit?  If anyone can help, that would be awesome.

# fdisk -l /dev/hdb

Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2498 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1             1      1275  10241406   83  Linux
/dev/hdb2          1276      2423   9221310    c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

# mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/hdb2
mkdosfs 2.2 (06 Jul 1999)
mkdosfs: unable to allocate space for FAT image in memory
