mounting 8G vfat formatted compact flash in linux 2.6 kernel

Hi

Is there any limitation on size of vfat partition that can be mounted
in linux?

I'm formatting a CF as vfat. Its an 8G CF. I partitioned it with fdisk
with following options:

1. delete all paritions
2. create new partition
3. primary
4. partition number 1
5. chose default begin cylinder
6. chose default end cylinder
8. change type of partition
9. 'c' for WIN95 FAT32
10. 'w'rite partition table

now i format it as

mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hdc1

when i mount it as

mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cf

I see it only as 1024K blocks in 'df'.

Can someone help? Is there a 1G limitation on vfat partition?

thanks
.
