Huh. My computer allows me to format a 128MB image file with brtfs. It won’t do it at 64MB though.

How are you trying to format the device? I got that error message when using gparted.

If it’s a flash memory (sd card, usb stick, ssd, etc), you could try f2fs, it’s very light, it supports compression and is meant specifically for that kind of devices (well, more for ssds, but also cheaper flash). BUT judging your experience from your comments, I suggest you don’t bother delving into niche filesystems, until you have more experience with Linux, especially if it’s for something as small as 128 MB. And I specifically suggest you avoid zfs for now.
