  1. Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.3b (Yggdrasil)
  2. It seems I didn't get the bug completely fixed in 0.3a. Some
  3. borderline cases would still allocate too many sectors for the FAT.
  4. Again, nothing to worry about, just a nitpick -- this one would only
  5. in certain cases add one sector per FAT.
  6. Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.3a (Yggdrasil)
  7. Fixed a bug which would cause too many sectors to be reserved for the
  8. FAT (filesystem will still work fine, but have slightly less space
  9. available).
  10. Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.3 (Yggdrasil)
  11. This version correctly handles even very large filesystems, and
  12. properly supports the modern (3.3+) DOS bootsector format, including a
  13. message printed on boot attempts.

  18. Announcing the release of mkdosfs version 0.2
  19. I've just uploaded mkdosfs to sunsite.unc.edu. It works in a similar way
  20. to Remy Card's mke2fs, but creates an MS-DOS file system.
  21. The filename is mkdosfs-0.2.tar.gz.
  22. This second release should fix a small bug that could lead to FAT sizes that
  23. Linux's dosfs would accept but MS-DOS wouldn't.
  24. The archive contains a manual page, binary and source versions.
