this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/507928

"When you check the properties of an external disk formatted with FAT32 file system, Gnome report a "msdos file system" that, if I'm not wrong, is FAT16 (expected: FAT32)

Step for reproduce:
1. Attach an external usb disk formatted with FAT32 file system
2. Right click on the icon in the desktop, select Property
3. In the low right corner the string say "File system type: msdos" (expected: FIle system type: FAT32)

I'm using Lucid Lynx 10.04"

is this more like a glib/gio issue?

Thanks in advance.

Mass component change due to BZ cleanup, sorry for the noise.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2012-08-14 22:36:30 UTC 
My guess is that this comes from g_unix_mount_get_fs_type().

Looks like a duplicate of bug #789933.
