The dosfstools package includes the mkdosfs and dosfsck utilities, which respectively make and check MS-DOS FAT file systems on hard drives or on floppies.
GPL-3.0+
* Tue Dec 21 2021 sbrabec@suse.com
- To be able to create filesystems compatible with previous
version, add -g command line option to mkfs (boo#1188401,
dosfstools-add-g.patch).
- BREAKING CHANGES:
After fixing of bsc#1172863 in the last update, mkfs started to
create different images than before. Applications that depend on
exact FAT file format (e. g. embedded systems) may be broken in
two ways:
* The introduction of the alignment may create smaller images
than before, with a different positions of important image
elements. It can break existing software that expect images in
doststools <= 4.1 style.
To work around these problems, use "-a" command line argument.
* The new image may contain a different geometry values. Geometry
sensitive applications expecting doststools <= 4.1 style images
can fails to accept different geometry values.
There is no direct work around for this problem. But you can
take the old image, use "file -s $IMAGE", check its
"sectors/track" and "heads", and use them in the newly
introduced "-g" command line argument.
* Wed May 26 2021 mcepl@suse.com
- Add fix-calculation.patch (gh#dosfstools/dosfstools#153, bsc#1172863)
to work with different size of clusters.
* Thu Jan 26 2017 mpluskal@suse.com
- Update to version 4.1:
* Now the default for mkfs for filesystems smaller than 512 MB is
64 / 32 sectors
* The parsing of octal character specifications for filenames in
the -u and -d 25 options of fsck now works.
* Fixed a possible fatlabel crash when writing a label to an
unlabelled filesystem
* Testsuite is now available
* Sat May 07 2016 mpluskal@suse.com
- Update to 4.0
* Switch build system to autotools.
* Fixed data corruption errors in fsck.fat Writing to the third
to last cluster on FAT12 with an odd number of clusters would
corrupt the following cluster.
* The automatic alignment of data clusters that was added in
3.0.8 and broken for FAT32 starting with 3.0.20 has been
reinstated.
- Small spec file cleanup
- Drop no longer needed dosfstools-suse-dirs.patch
* Wed Jun 03 2015 mpluskal@suse.com
- Update to 3.0.28
* mkfs.fat now allows choosing 0xF0 as the media byte which was
previously rejected.
* mkfs.fat now supports the --invariant option to facilitate
testing mkfs.fat itself.
* Bugs fixed in fsck.fat are a read one byte beyond the end of
an allocated array when checking some FAT12 filesystems, and
checking that the first cluster of a file as specified in the
directory entry is not 1.
- Cleanup spec file with spec-cleaner
* Mon May 11 2015 pgajdos@suse.com
- fix url
* Fri Jan 16 2015 pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to 3.0.27:
* fsck.fat: Don't print version string every time -v is
encountered
* Fix attempt to rename root dir in fsck due to uninitialized
fields
* Support long file names in volume labeling code
- upstream changed
* Tue Sep 23 2014 jengelh@inai.de
- Drop gpg-offline build-time requirement; this is now handled by
the local source validator
* Thu Jun 26 2014 pgajdos@suse.com
- added fsck.{v,}fat and mkfs.{v,}fat compat symlinks in /sbin
[bnc#884516]
- call spec-cleaner
* Mon Mar 17 2014 pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to 3.0.26:
* Fix "odd" files created by frequent power-loss.
