Hi! I have a similar problem with DVD+RW media:
# mkdosfs /dev/hda mkdosfs 2.10 (22 Sep 2003) mkfs.vfat: unable to get drive geometry for '/dev/hda' As a workaround I create a regular file and copy that to the DVD+RW # mkdosfs -C imagefile 4500000 # dd if=imagefile of=/dev/hda Whiche then works OK (except that mkdosfs can not create larger than 2GB files, see bug #295181).
