After running mkfs.msdos on a 16G sdcard, the card does not work in an S4 phone.
The phone goes into a reboot loop.
logcat displays the following message just before the first reboot:
MDM :: sdCardWriteAccessBlocked 0

The same card works fine in an I9000 phone.

The mkfs.msdos is run on Ubuntu Linux.
