[Freemint-list] dosfsck which marks filesystem clean?

[Miro Kropáček]

Hi,

as mentioned
<https://github.com/freemint/freemint/pull/42#issuecomment-306017872> in
the fix for the fsck issue, during my experiments I have realised that the
dosfstools package and its dosfsck actually doesn't mark file system as
clean when finishes!

It respects the flag (i.e. if not dirty -> end with "file system clean"
message) but doesn't set it. To your knowledge is there any other
(mint/unix/tos/whatever) tool which actually *does* set this flag?

Because right now it's a rather unsatisfactory situation, one time you
forget to cleanly shutdown FreeMiNT (even without any Unix stuff) and for
the rest of your life you're going to see the "unchecked fs, please use
dosfsck" message.

Of course, the right approach is to fix (or upgrade) the dosfstools package
but it's not that easy, source code is .... rather hard to understand.
