--- Comment #2 from Marek Zarychta <[email protected]> ---
Perhaps issuing 
newfs_msdos -F 32 
should pick something other than the current defaults. In newfs_msdos(8) we can
read:

   -c cluster-size
             Sectors per cluster, also called allocation size.  Acceptable
             values are powers of 2 in the range 1 through 128.  If the block
             or cluster size are not specified, the code uses a cluster
             between 512 bytes and 32K depending on the filesystem size

It degrades the user experience for the average FreeBSD user. Our
newfs_msdos(8) should work out of the box in such use cases like formatting
thumb drives etc, where user specifies only -F 32 as an option without deeply
investigating any cluster size issues.
