dosfstools (4.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium Starting with this version mkfs.fat again does automatic alignment of filesystem structures for FAT32. This was introduced in 3.0.8 and was broken (disabled without a way to turn it on) since 3.0.20 for FAT32 only. If you want to use mkfs.fat to create filesystems for devices with broken FAT implementations that can not handle this, you again have to use the -a option to disable alignment. -- Andreas Bombe Fri, 06 May 2016 23:55:50 +0200 dosfstools (3.0.28-2) unstable; urgency=medium In version 3.0.28, the fsck.vfat tool changed its default operating mode to interactive repair. This mode had to be activated with the -r option before. Previously, the default has been an interactive repair without the option of writing any changes back to the filesystem. Essentially the new default is only different in that there will be a question at the end asking whether to commit the changes to the filesystem. -- Andreas Bombe Fri, 21 Aug 2015 17:15:38 +0200
