Description:
dosfstools - Utilities to create and check MS-DOS FAT filesystems
Changes:
dosfstools (1.0-16) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Both tools are not maintained upstreams anymore, so I take over
general maintainership now...
* Both mkdosfs and dosfsck now support the FAT32 format. dosfsck
automatically detects it. For mkdosfs, 32 is now a valid argument to
-F, but FAT32 format isn't selected automatically (yet). With FAT32,
you can also set the number of reserved sectors (-R) and location of
the boot sector backup (-b) if you like (defaults are reasonable).
* dosfsck can handle and check VFAT-style long filenames now. It uses
the long names in listing etc. when available. There are also some
checks on the structures of LFNs and some fixes for possible problems.
* Implemented Atari format in both, dosfsck and mkdosfs. Under Atari TOS
basically the same FAT format is used as under DOS, however, there are
some little differences. Both tools now automatically select Atari
format if they run on an Atari. You can switch between standard MS-DOS
and Atari format with the -A option.
* Applied patch by Giuliano Procida <gpp10@cus.cam.ac.uk> to add loop
device support to mkdosfs: Usual floppy sizes are detected and
parameters (media byte,...) are set up accordingly.
My own additions to this: Don't die on loop devices that don't have
such a floppy size, but use some default hd params. Added endianess
conversions to Giulianos patch.
* More/better data in boot sector dump of dosfsck -v.
* Fixed lots of gcc warnings in the source. Removed -Wno-parentheses flag.
* Made dosfsck -v a bit more verbose.
* Extended README's for FAT32/LFN.
* Written a README for Atari format differences.
* Some minor cleanups in debian/rules.
* Install README files as README.{mkdosfs,dosfsck,Atari}.gz.
* AFAIK the tools still have alignment problems on Alpha machines.
Someone wanted to send me a patch, but I haven't heard from him for
months...
* Set Standards-Version to 2.5.0.0 (no changes).
