Description Harald Hoyer 2013-04-09 13:04:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to fsck my /dev/sda1 lets fsck.vfat consume 100% CPU without any disk reads.

strace does not show any syscalls after some read().

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dosfstools-3.0.16-2.fc19.x86_64

I dd'ed and xz'ed the partition image. Maybe you can debug fsck.vfat with that.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-05-03 13:34:04 UTC 
It does seem as ABI mismatch and it seems it was resolved by the latest rebuild. I am unable to reproduce it with the dosfstools-3.0.16-3.fc19.

I rechecked with the valgrind, there are some memory leaks due to poor coding (I am going to resolve them later), but none of them should be fatal.
