<semi-solved>mformat aborts(downgrade)

error:

mformat: mformat.c:354: check_fs_params_and_set_fat: Assertion `clusters_fit_into_fat(Fs)' failed.
[1]  293099 abort (core dumped)  mformat -i testOS.img -f 1440

how do i get it:

dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=512 count=93750
mformat -i test.img -f 1440

i can't find anything on google and the wiki
i someone explain why this happens and a posible solution?

workaround:
downgrade mtools (id it to 1:4.0.27-1)

Did you manage to fix this without the workaround? I'm having the same issue with the exact same parameters (it seems we ended up here from the same tutorial).
