That's good to know: I don't think the original text made this point
clear either.
IMO, the default behaviour does not make sense and the -I option
should not even exist ; mkfs.fat should accept to create a filesystem
on an entire unpartitioned device of any type by default, just like
other mkfs.* do.
Actually I agree with you, this would be a smart change to make. Here's
where an interested party should file the request and/or patch for the

(I looked this up because I might do it myself)
