version 2.11
============
- all: don't use own llseek() anymore, glibc lseek() does everything we need
- dosfsck: lfn.c: avoid segfault
- dosfsck: check.c, lfn.c: check for orphaned LFN slots
- dosfsck: check.c alloc_rootdir_entry(): set owner of newly alloced clusters
- dosfsck: dosfsck.h: better use <byteswap.h> for byte swapping
- dosfsck: io.c: added code for real DOS
- mkdosfs: raised FAT12_THRESHOLD from 4078 to 4085, introduced MIN_CLUST_32
- mkdosfs: fix loop device size
- mkdosfs: by default, use FAT32 on devices >= 512MB
- mkdosfs: fix a memory leak (blank_sector)
- mkdosfs: fix parsing of number of blocks on command line, so that numbers
>2G can be used
- mkdosfs: add 'b' to getopt() string so this option can be used :)
- mkdosfs: fix parsing of -i arg (should be unsigned)
- mkdosfs: change default permissions of created images (-C) to 0666 & ~umask
- mkdosfs: relax geometry check: if HDIO_GETGEO fails, print a warning and
default to H=255,S=63
- dosfsck: new option -n (no-op): just check non-interactively, but
don't write anything to filesystem
- A few #include changes to support compilation with linux 2.6
headers (thanks to Jim Gifford <jim@jg555.com>)
- dosfsck: remove directory entries pointing to start cluster 0, if they're
not "." or ".." entries that should actually point to the root dir
(pointed out by Thomas Winkler <twinkler@sysgo.de>)
- mkdosfs: new option -h to set number of hidden sectors
(thanks to Godwin Stewart <gstewart@spamcop.net>)
- all: updated my mail address everywhere...
version 2.10
============
- dosfsck: various 64-bit fixes and removed some warnings by Michal
Cihar <mcihar@suse.cz>
- mkdosfs: better error message if called without parameters (also
suggested by Michal)
version 2.9
===========
- dosfsck: if EOF from stdin, exit with error code
- dosfsck: Fix potential for "Internal error: next_cluster on bad cluster".
- dosfsck: When clearing long file names, don't overwrite the dir
entries with all zeros, but put 0xe5 into the first byte.
Otherwise, some OSes stop reading the directory at that point...
- dosfsck: in statistics printed by -v, fix 32bit overflow in number
of data bytes.
- dosfsck: fix an potential overflow in "too many clusters" check
- dosfsck: fix 64bit problem in fat.c (Debian bug #152769)
- dosfsck: allow FAT size > 32MB.
- dosfsck: allow for only one FAT
- dosfsck: with -v, also check that last sector of the filesystem can
be read (in case a partition is smaller than the fs thinks)
- mkdosfs: add note in manpage that creating bootable filesystems is
not supported.
- mkdosfs: better error message with pointer to -I if target is a
full-disk device.
version 2.8
===========
- dosfsck: Fixed endless loop whenever a volume label was present.
version 2.7
===========
- dosfsck: Don't check volume label for bad characters, everything
seems to be allowed there... Also ignore duplicate names where one of
them is a volume label.
version 2.6
===========
- mkdosfs: Added correct heads definition for 2.88M floppies if not
created via loopback.
- dosfsck: If boot sector and its backup are different (FAT32), offer
to write the backup to sector 0. (tnx to Pavel Roskin for this)
- For 64 bit alpha, struct bootsector in dosfsck.h must be defined
with __attribute__((packed)).
- mkdosfs now actually accepts -R option. (tnx to David Kerrawn)
- Fixed typo in dosfsck boot.c (recognition of boot signature in FSINFO)
- Various compilation fixes for 2.4 kernel headers and for ia64.
version 2.5
===========
- The llseek() implementation for alpha didn't really work; fixed it.
version 2.4
===========
- Fix compiling problem on alpha (made a silly typo...)
version 2.3
===========
- mkdosfs: Fixed usage message (printed only "bad address").
- both: made man pages and usage statements more consistent.
- both: fix llseek function for alpha.
- dosfsck: fix reading of unaligned fields in boot sector for alpha.
- dosfsck: fixed renaming of files (extension wasn't really written).
version 2.2
===========
- Added dosfsck/COPYING, putting dosfsck officially under GPL (Werner
and I agree that it should be GPL).
- mkdosfs: Allow creation of a 16 bit FAT on filesystems that are too
small for it if the user explicitly selected FAT16 (but a warning
is printed). Formerly, you got the misleading error message "make
the fs a bit smaller".
- dosfsck: new option -y as synonym for -y; for compability with
other fs checkers, which also accept this option.
- dosfsck: Now prints messages similar to e2fsck: at start version
and feature list; at end number of files (and directories) and
number of used/total clusters. This makes the printouts of *fsck at
boot time nicer.
- dosfsck: -a (auto repair) now turns on -f (salvage files), too. -a
should act as non-destructive as possible, so lost clusters should
be assigned to files. Otherwise the data in them might be
overwritten later.
- dosfsck: Don't drop a directory with lots of bad entries in
auto-repair mode for the same reason as above.
- dosfsck: avoid deleting the whole FAT32 root dir if something is
wrong with it (bad start cluster or the like).
- general: also create symlinks {mkfs,fsck}.vfat.8 to the respective
real man pages.
version 2.1
===========
- Fix some forgotten loff_t's for filesystems > 4GB. (Thanks to
<ki@kretz.co.at>).
- Fix typo in mkdosfs manpage.
- Removed inclusion of <linux/loop.h> from mkdosfs.c; it's unnecessary and
caused problems in some environments.
- Fix condition when to expect . and .. entries in a directory. (Was
wrong for non-FAT32 if first entry in root dir was a directory also.)
- Also create mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat symlinks, so that also
filesystems listed with type "vfat" in /etc/fstab can be
automatically checked.
version 2.0
===========
- merge of mkdosfs and dosfstools in one package
- new maintainer: Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
- FAT32 support in both mkdosfs and dosfsck
- VFAT (long filename) support in dosfsck
- Support for Atari variant of MS-DOS filesystem in both tools
- Working support for big-endian systems in both tools
- Better support for loop devices in mkdosfs: usual floppy sizes are
detected and media byte etc. set accordingly; if loop fs has no
standard floppy size, use hd params
(mainly by Giuliano Procida <gpp10@cus.cam.ac.uk>)
- Removed lots of gcc warnings
- Fixed some minor calculation bugs in mkdosfs.
