[Solved] How to find information about a FAT file system

I am looking for a command that could display the parameter of a FAT file system (size of fat, label, UUID, etc...). Somewhat the equivalent of dumpe2fs. I am sure it is very easy but I do not find.

not sure how much detail you need of the FAT fs, but you may want to try:

lsblk -o FSTYPE,NAME,LABEL,UUID,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,TYPE

Do lsblk -h to see all columns you can output

$ sudo file -s /dev/dm-11
/dev/dm-11: sticky x86 boot sector, mkdosfs boot message display, code offset 0x3c, OEM-ID " mkdosfs", sectors/cluster 16, root entries 512, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 32, heads 255, sectors 114688 (volumes > 32 MB) ,
serial number 0x2654bfc0, label: "boot       ", FAT (16 bit)
