[Bug 1322976] Re: [precise] dosfsck is unable to repair FS

[Martin Pitt]

I uploaded a precise backport of that patch to the SRU review queue. Can
you please prepare the bug for an SRU accordingly, in particular add a
Test Case? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

Thanks!

Title:
  [precise] dosfsck is unable to repair FS

Status in dosfstools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dosfstools source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  dosfsck is unable to repair FS and kernel show this warning:

  FAT-fs (sdc1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be
  corrupt. Please run fsck.

  This problem happends when 3.8+ kernel does not properly umount fat
  partion. For fixing this problem dosfstools v3.0.14+ is needed. See:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/6/342

  Because in precise is only version 3.0.12-1ubuntu1.1, it cannot repair
  these FS. So please update in precise dosfsck to at least version
  v3.0.14 which can properly fix fat32 partitions.
