Description of Problem: fsck.msdos appears to hang while checking images/devices that are created w/ the volume-name option of mkdosfs (-n). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dosfstools-2.7-1 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/dos.img count=10 bs=1M 2. /sbin/mkdosfs -n test /tmp/dos.img 3. /sbin/fsck.vfat /tmp/dos.img 4. watch the process consume 90% of your cpu resources for 5+ minutes before killing it. I also reproduced this behavior w/ a floppy disk on my i686 workstation. The floppy created w/ "mkdosfs -n test /dev/fd0" never completed the fsck, but a different floppy created w/out "-n test" fsck'd in a few seconds.
fixed in dosfstools-2.8-1 (ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/7.3)
