Bug Description
[Impact]
dosfsck is unable to repair FS and kernel show this warning:
FAT-fs (sdc1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
This problem happends when 3.8+ kernel does not properly umount fat partion. For fixing this problem dosfstools v3.0.14+ is needed. See: https:/
Because in precise is only version 3.0.12-1ubuntu1.1, it cannot repair these FS. So please update in precise dosfsck to at least version v3.0.14 which can properly fix fat32 partitions.
Upstream patch: http://
[Test Case]
Mount some FAT partition in R/W mode and stop/crash kernel. Next time run fsck on that partition and dosfsck should properly clean dirty bit. Kernel should not show message "Volume was not properly unmounted".
[Regression Potential]
Low/None. Mentioned patch which fix this problem is already included in upstream dosfstools version.
