[PATCH 2/2] fat: mark fs as dirty on mount and clean on umount

From: OGAWA Hirofumi
Date: Thu Dec 27 2012 - 12:20:12 EST



From: Oleksij Rempel <bug-track@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is no documented methods to mark FAT as dirty. Unofficially MS
started to use reserved Byte in boot sector for this purpose,
at least since Win 2000. With Win 7 user is warned if fs is dirty
and asked to clean it.
Different versions of Win, handle it in different ways,
but always have same meaning:
- Win 2000 and XP, set it on write operations and
remove it after operation was finnished
- Win 7, set dirty flag on first write and remove it on umount.

We will do it as fallow:
- set dirty flag on mount. If fs was initially dirty, warn user,
remember it and do not do any changes to boot sector.
- clean it on umount. If fs was initially dirty, leave it dirty.
- do not do any thing if fs mounted read-only.
- TODO: leave fs dirty if we found some error after mount.

patch history:
- v2. do not warn on read-only. Some style fixes.
- v3. make fat_set_state static.
- v4. add "force" variable to fat_set_state and use it on remount ro to rw.
