Mount issue
I format a usb key:

Code:
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdf1 
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdf2

(also tried mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdfx and mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdfx)
and have the following:
Code:
# fdisk -l 
[...]
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdf1   *          64     6097695     3048816    b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sdf2         6097696     6220639       61472    1  FAT12

Code:
# blkid
/dev/sdf1: UUID="0324d9e8-4d28-4721-8b28-a6346a9ab12c" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sdf2: UUID="fc03ca0f-504a-490c-add4-02012767d568" TYPE="ext4"

this leaves me with 2 questions:
-1.why both partitions appear as fat with fdisk while they appear (correctly) as ext4 with blkid?
-2.as you can see I have got only 55Mega on the second partition:

Code:
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdf1       2.8G  4.4M  2.7G   1% /mnt
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdf2        55M  1.2M   49M   3% /mnt

how to concatenate both partitions into one?

I tried to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf2 and reformat the sdf1 (hoping the 2nd operation would have used the space left by the 1st operation), in vain. I have tried to reformat sdf1 in vfat (mkfs.vfat) and ext4.

Thank you very much for your help folks !
