There are some seriously nasty bugs in that -d option and since there is an easy replacement, I'm going to agree we should drop the dosfstools patches. I'm not going to take it immediately to give people a chance to make alternative arrangements but I do think its going to be the best move going forwards. Cheers, Richard
