Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dosfstools
Running fsck -a /dev/sda1 on a vfat external USB disk with a personality
disorder, fsck.vfat hangs after renaming file #9999 to FSCK9999.REN and uses
all free CPU time - from top(1):
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
8554 root 25 0 128m 127m 380 R 91.1 12.6 223:23.54 fsck.vfat
It is obviously trying to rename to FSCK(9999+1).REN which doesn't work.
The man page claims that fsck.vfat cvan fix "Directories with a large
number of bad entries (probably corrupt). The directory can be
dropped.". It would be nice to be able to specify which directory should
be dropped as the filesystem crashes when trying rm -rf on this
directory. Now fsck crashes too :(
