print out the values of the bytes that do not match. Add comment explaining that there is no documented rationale for the check. fsck_msdos checks that several bytes are equal in the primary and backup bootblock. There is no documented rationale. The kernel does not enforce this when mounting a filesystem. I have a FAT32 filesystem on my disk (mounted as /share) which fails this check, but is accepted by both Windows XP and NetBSD. My volume differs in bytes 71-81. The primary contains "SHARE " and the backup NUL bytes. Further, fsck_msdos does not have code to repair the mismatch. As a result such filesystems can be used not checked. |
