I wonder if it's a quirk of FC2. I tried the same exercise with FC6
(used a 1GB USB flash drive instead of the 100GB drive you used). Both
fdisk and mount agreed that my flash drive was partition type 0e (16 bit
vfat). Any chance you could try the same exercise on a more recent
vintage of FC? It also might be interesting to see what's actually in
/etc/mtab.
Cheers,
Dave
