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

[Jan Claeys]

Seems like there is a fix in dosfstools 3.0.15 now:

http://www.daniel-
baumann.ch/gitweb/?p=software/dosfstools.git;a=blobdiff;f=src/mkdosfs.c;h=beda76f0fa87c85a6cd3bccb860865eaabc7143a;hp=25c520f972431310b038843a9d3bbd0eeba22fad;hb=b8201b34eb83c2bf87bd1c2b1a7fa57a1dc28191;hpb=7a756385ed6bce393396c699e068b5f239053db6

(Probably not the "right" solution, but I still wonder if it would be
worth a backport of this patch?)

Title:
  mkdosfs refuses to run on /dev/loop0p1

Status in “dosfstools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
