Apart from that, I urge you to backport the fixed version at least down to= dunfell, maybe even to earlier releases. dosfsck 4.2 no longer marks directory entries created by mtools <=3D 4.0.1= 9 as bad, which previously rendered lots of FAT boot partitions (Raspberry = Pi/UEFI) unbootable. mtools <=3D 4.0.19 is part of "warrior" and earlier and used by e.g. meta-= mender during build. Therefore, many affected FAT partitions can be found i= n the wild. Best regards, Colin Finck
