[Bug 62831] Re: fsck.vfat truncates files of 4294967295 bytes length to 0 bytes at boot-time
Dapper, with latest updates, still hangs when dosfsck'ing a FAT32 partition with such a big file in it. Please backport the bug fix to dapper.

which among other things contained my Acronis True Image disc image files in .tib format hey, that's /exactly/ the type of files dosfsck was eating in my case, too...

Hi, I've just been trying to reproduce this bug, but I couldn't. Is there anything special apart from the file length (my test file has identical length) that might give a hint where to dig?

[Bug 62831] Re: fsck.vfat truncates files of 4294967295 bytes length to 0 bytes at boot-time
I just had an almost identical experience with a fresh xubuntu install on a dual boot set up with win98. I had edited /etc/fstab to create a mount to a shared vfat partition which among other things contained my Acronis True Image disc image files in .tib format. True Image splits the image into a set of linked files each being the maximum size for a fat32 partition. (I did wonder whether the problem related to the way True Image creates this linked set rather than the file size). The fstab line I added was : /dev/hda5 /media/hda5 vfat defaults,umask=000 0 2 thus setting the fsck option to check this vfat partition. On re-booting when it got to the file system checking part of the boot- up sequence a mismatch between the nominal size of the first .tib file in the set and its actual size on the disc caused it to truncate the file to 0 bytes. The boot-up sequence then hung before it could start on anything else and I killed it. I edited the fsck option to 0, recreated my image files and tried booting up xubuntu. So far it hasn't eaten my .tib files again :) -- fsck.vfat truncates files of 4294967295 bytes length to 0 bytes at boot-time https://launchpad.net/bugs/62831 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
