mkdosfs - Make DOS file system utilty.


I wrote this, partially to complement the dosfsck utility written by Werner
Almesberger (who graciously gave me some pointers when I asked for some
advice about writing this code), and also to avoid me having to boot DOS
just to create data partitions (I use Linux to back up DOS :-) ).

The code is really derived from Remy Card's mke2fs utility - I used this as a
framework, although all of the file system specific stuff was removed and the
DOS stuff inserted.  I believe originally mke2fs was based on Linus' mkfs
code, hence the acknowledgements in the source code.

Neither Remy nor Linus have had any involvement with mkdosfs, so if there are
any bugs they're almost certainly "all my own work".

This is very much an ALPHA release, as I've only had limited opportunity to
test things.  I don't know of any bugs, but you have been warned!  If you do
find a bug or have any constructive comments, please mail me!
