utilities for making and checking MS-DOS FAT filesystems
The dosfstools package includes the mkdosfs (aka mkfs.dos and mkfs.vfat) and
dosfsck (aka fsck.msdos and fsck.vfat) utilities, which respectively make and
check MS-DOS FAT filesystems on hard drives or on floppies.
This version uses the enhanced boot sector/superblock format of DOS 3.3+ as
well as provides a default dummy boot sector code.
Canonical provides critical updates for dosfstools until October 2010.
