Description of problem: fatsort crash with error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fatsort-0.9.8.2-1.fc8 How reproducible: fatsort -f /dev/sdb1 Actual results: writeClusterChain: Seek error! sortClusterChain: Failed to write cluster chain! sortClusterChain: Failed to sort cluster chain! sort_fs: Failed to sort cluster chain! main: Failed to sort file system! Additional info: 'fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1' passess without any error. There is no autofs/hald/messagebus. Device is mounted by fstab line: LABEL=MP3-1234 /home/mike/usb2 auto rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noauto,user,uid=mike,gid=mike,umask=0077 When I get fatsort-0.9.8.2.tar.gz source and build it locally fatsort works fine. Strange it is, because according to fatsort.spec there are no patches nor any additional options for build. Without '-f' flag there is additional error (not important for me): check_mounted: Unable to get realpath! sort_fs: Could not check if filesystem is mounted! main: Failed to sort file system!

Can you please run: rpm --verify fatsort If the output is empty, maybe it helps when you provide a backtrace: 1) debuginfo-install fatsort 2) # gdb fatsort 3) (gdb) run -f /dev/sdb1 notice crash 4) (gdb) bt Then post the output here, but before you do this, make sure, that it does not contain any private information. I notified upstream about this bug, but I was not able to reproduce it.

I'm trying to narrow problem.

Yeah, the backtrace was actually not a good idea, because fatsort did not really crash but exited cleanly. I located the bug, the CFLAGS get completely overwritten when they are specified on the make commandline, "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" need to be set. I will push fixed packages, soon. About the "-f", I guess this is needed because you do not have an entry for /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab, there is only one with the label. Therefore fatsort cannot check, whether or not the filesytem is mounted. If you want it do beheave differently, you need to talk to upstream.
fatsort-0.9.8.2-2.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9
fatsort-0.9.8.2-2.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8

Changing 'LABEL=MP3-1234' to '/dev/sdb1' in fstab does not help.
Might be fatsort bug: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=14146&group_id=2731
fatsort-0.9.8.2-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
fatsort-0.9.8.2-2.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Upstream has fixed "check_mounted: Unable to get realpath!" bug: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=14146&group_id=2731 Updated fatsort (fatsort-0.9.8.3): https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2731 works fine no matter if I have 'LABEL=MP3-1234' or '/dev/sdb1' in fstab. Please note, that mounted filesystem trigger a proper error.
I will update fatsort soon. If you need a bug report for the realpath isssue, please open a new bug report, but this one was only about the wrong CFLAGS.
