mkfs.vfat unable create file partition
I am trying to create a file system partition using mkfs.vfat uitility.
Below are the command i'm using:
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n program /dev/sdb1
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n init /dev/sdb2
I'm getting below warring without creating any partition on disk:
mkfs.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows
mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing FAT
mkfs.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows
mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing FAT
Please share your views to resolve this problem.
Thanks

You can ignore lowercase label warnink.
You need to separate commands, e.g.
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n program /dev/sdb1
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n init /dev/sdb2
If this is not the case, please provide dmesg output and fdisk -l one.
/dev/sdb
If your device have no partitions than you have to create new partition table, here is a good example: http://www.howtogeek.com/106873/how-to-use-fdisk-to-manage-partitions-on-linux/

I want to create three different partitions on my SD card. First partition is of FAT32 type using mkfs.vfat, similarly second is of FAT 32. Third partition is of EXT2 type using mkfa.ext2. Third partition is getting created and mounted properly. But firts two partitions are not proper, as i'm getting above mentioned errors. so mkfs.vfat is unable to run completely not creating expected results. any guess?
