[Bug 935480] Re: mkdosfs refuses to run on /dev/loop0p1

[Phillip Susi]

I didn't even think about the major/minor part, I just suggested adding
another leading 0xf to the masks.

Personally I think the whole check for full disk is brain damaged and
should be removed.

Title:
  mkdosfs refuses to run on /dev/loop0p1

Status in “dosfstools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  psusi at faldara:~$ sudo mkdosfs /dev/loop0p1
  mkdosfs 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)
  mkdosfs: Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/dev/loop0p1' (use -I to override)

  Obviously this is wrong since loop0p1 IS a partition.  Oddly, it does
  not complain on loop0p2.
