The 100% stuff is from the orginal lh_binary_usb-hdd I used 101 as in
MiB in my parted case.

But I did a check again now and found the error. Because I use an image
witch may be bigger than just the one FAT16 partition normally built and
(in my case I could have more than one partition aswell). I hit trouble
with the line
mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n DEBIAN_LIVE ${FREELO}


because mkfs wont know where the partition ends anymore, before it was
just one partition and it ended where the image ended.

The mkfs stuff is only there for the naming of the volume. But I tested
to replace the losetup with kpartx and that made mkfs.vfat happy again :-)
