Description Ville Herva 2005-11-03 13:33:09 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Opera/9.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)

Description of problem:
Trying to make a vfat onto a 7GB partition only gives a 1GB fs. 

From the strace it appears LFS support was missing when the package was 
compiled.

Using mkfs.vfat from dosfstools-2.8-15 from RHEL4 yields a complete 7GB fs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dosfstools-2.11-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. head -c 7000m /dev/zero > image
2. losetup /dev/loop0 image
3. mkfs.vfat -v -F 32 /dev/loop0
4. mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/foo;df -hT /mnt/msdos;umount /mnt/foo
  


Actual Results:  df shows 1Gb file system.


Expected Results:  The fs should be 7GB.


Additional info:

Comment 1 Ville Herva 2005-11-03 18:18:19 UTC
fsck.vfat also exhibits this:

Checking we can access the last sector of the filesystem
Seek to -1073512960:Invalid argument

(This made me think the fs was trashed and I wiped it a tried to recreate it - 
which failed due to mkfs.vfat making only 1GB fs... Then I lost the data 
because of a tar bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=
172373). In fact the original FAT fs was only mildly corrupted, fixable by a 
working fsck.vfat (from RHEL4 dosfstools 2.8))


Comment 2 Peter Vrabec 2005-11-04 16:12:25 UTC
fixed in dosfstools-2.11-2

Thanks.


Comment 4 Ville Herva 2005-11-06 12:31:53 UTC
Upgraded to dosfstools-2.11-2 from rawhide.

The test case still fails.

Comment 5 Peter Vrabec 2005-11-06 21:19:36 UTC
fixed in dosfstools-2.11-3, hopefully :-)

Comment 6 Ville Herva 2005-11-13 12:42:01 UTC
Verified; dosfstools-2.11-3 works.
