It seems to be broken for a while on FAT32. Cloned to all Fedoras and
sent patch upstream.

Reproducer:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/img bs=512 count=200k
# mkdosfs -F 32 /tmp/img
# dosfslabel /tmp/img test

Title:
  dosfslabel stops with "Seek to 12345678: invalid argument" on FAT32
  volumes

Status in dosfstools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dosfstools package in Fedora:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dosfstools

  dosfslabel stops with the error: "Seek to 12345678: invalid argument"
  (numbers vary, even among several attempts on the same device).

  Bug has already been reported and fixed in Fedora
  (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693662), but obviously
  not upstream. Bug is also present in Debian up to experimental. The
  patch attached to above report works for me on natty
  (dosfstools-3.0.9), but not on lucid (dosfstools-3.0.7).

  I have converted the patch to a dpatch and attached it.

  Please send this one upstream (again) and to debian as well.
