Package: dosfstools
Version: 2.11-2.1
Severity: critical
File: /sbin/fsck.vfat
Justification: causes serious data loss
/sbin/fsck.vfat truncates files of 4294966784 bytes length.
The file system on /dev/hda8 was checked immediately before reboot using the
GUI tool
in Windows 2000. As the output /var/log/fsck/checkfs shows /sbin/fsck.vfat
decided
during boot that the filesystem was inconsistent and automatically truncated
the file.
Note that it hasn't actually released the clusters yet. The clusters seem to
be freed
during when fsck is run at the next boot.
Also shown below is the result of manually copying an equivalant file, and
manually
running fsck.vfat is sufficent to reproduce the problem.
A quick test shows that Sarge does not truncate the file during boot.
Thanks for your work in Debian
Andrew V.
