This is due to the FAT being read at mount time. A general rule for FAT32 is 1MB of fat per 1GB of filesystem.
There is a command line option which specifies when the FAT is read. The default for 'fat' is and has always been "fat=nonrmv", which
behaves as:
- "always" on non-removable devices, read FAT at mount time (you will need it during it's lifetime)
- "lazy" on removable devices, read FAT at access time (since there is a chance you might never need to do it before ejected)
- "nonrmv", it depends on how the device is advertised using "DEV_REMOVABLE".
