Reproducible FAT32 filesystem error in Hoary "fixed" with dosfstools 2.11

[Jaime]

Hi all. I'm posting this just in case someone else has the same problem.

I have a reproducible FAT32 filesystem problem. All you need is a spare
partition:


(run as root)
mkdir mountPoint
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/<sparepartition>
mount /dev/<sparepartition> mountPoint/
touch mountPoint/newFile
rm mountPoint/newFile
umount mountPoint/
dosfsck /dev/<sparepartition>


Using dosfstools 2.10 (current in hoary), this returns:
dosfsck 2.10, 22 Sep 2003, FAT32, LFN
/\uffffn\000e\000w\000F.\000i\000
  Bad file name.
1) Drop file
2) Rename file
3) Auto-rename
4) Keep it
?
(etc)


Using dofstools 2.11 (from
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/LOCAL/dosfstools/), I get:
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
/dev/hda5: 0 files, 1/1022371 clusters


Is it worth me logging this in bugzilla (as I think it's different to
#6404, #1959, #3297, #6925, #7185 etc)?

HTH, Jaime
