Public bug reported: I tryed to format a new 1TB external (USB-) Disk with Fat32. I used the "-c" flag to check the disk at the same time and had a look to the syslog.
The format seems to run normal, but i saw in the syslog, that the disk had readerrors from circa 70 percent. Now i used a fat32 formarting tool (on Windows) delivered by the vendor of the USB Disk and used checking, too. The format runs without any error. I think it is probably a USB problem, because i have a lot usb resets (syslog), or a mkdosfs error with such big devices. con ** Affects: util-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mkdosfs - readerrors while formating device with checking https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267662 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
