After creating a new partition formatted as FAT16 or FAT32, if you select to edit the mountpoint, partitionmanager creates an entry in /etc/fstab with type fat16 or fat32, which leads to a "unknown filesystem type 'fat16'" or "unknown filesystem type 'fat32'" error when trying to mount it. It should be a vfat mountpoint. Original bug was reported on Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1517718 I also verified that if you change the filesystem from fat16 to fat32 or viceversa and then you edit the mountpoint, the type in fstab entry is not updated.
