My 2.8-fat32 port only contains disk READ functions but should be compatible to non-FAT32 kernels. Yes, the 2.8 dosfstools had bugs like truncating directories when removing broken entries. But as my port cannot write anyway... > IIRC the problem is ONLY about one function to read/write sector beyond > 2Gb. Eric, Do you have these functions that worked for 2.8? I think this is not about the lowlevel functions. They have the problem that as far as I remember Imre only uses FAT32 functions even for FAT1x drives (need FAT32 kernel). Combining the lowlevel functions of me and Imre - if anybody can find the time to do so - would be best. The 2 GB or maybe 4 GB limit is because something must accidentally use 32bit ints instead of long long int (64bit ints, should be available in DJGPP which is used to compile DOSFSCK) somewhere. DOSFSCK processes the disk as a byte array, not a sector array. Only the lowlevel disk I/O functions use sector numbers internally. With fixed and FAT16-kernel compatible disk I/O functions, DOSFSCK 2.10 will be definitely better than my DOSFSCK 2.8-fat32 port. But who has DJGPP and spare time to fix 2.10?
