Reduce floppy disk size after formatting
The useful space to store files inside a floppy is less than the capacity of the floppy itself: % mkfs.msdos -C floppy.img 1440 mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31) % stat -c %s floppy.img 1474560 % mkdir floppy % sudo mount -o loop,uid=$USER floppy.img floppy % dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=100M of=floppy/test dd: error writing 'floppy/test': No space left on device 1457665+0 records in 1457664+0 records out 1457664 bytes (1,5 MB, 1,4 MiB) copied, 0,912079 s, 1,6 MB/s % echo $((1474560 - 1457664)) 16896 It needs a bit more than 16K to store the FAT table, so round it to 32K to allow some clearance for changes in FAT header size. % echo $((1474560 - 32*1024)) 1441792
