The real question as I see it is not the limit of fat32 but the limit of mkdosfs ... this might be exceeded. Other possibility..... the partition doesn't match the drive correctly.. in this case the error of creating too large a file system means that it is too large for the drive (for example the partition table goes past the last cylinder of the physical drive.)
