Also remember that deleting a file that has an open file handle/descriptor does not remove the file from the disk until that handle is closed. lsof should be used to determine what is holding the file open. Then that daemon can be restarted to clear the open file handle.

mkfatimage16

MKFATIMAGE16(1) 					      Make HDIMAGE for DOSEMU						   MKFATIMAGE16(1)

NAME

       mkfatimage16 - generate a virtual drive image suitable for DOSEMU

SYNOPSIS

       mkfatimage16 [ -b bsectfile ] [{ -t tracks | -k Kbytes }] [ -l volume-label ] [ -f outfile ] [ -p ] [ file...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       mkfatimage16 creates a hdimage file for DOSEMU that is pre-loaded with the files specified on the command line.	The output is either writ-
       ten to stdout (hence do not forget to append " > hdimagefile", else you will see garbage on the screen) or to the file specified by the	-f
       option.	For  the  latter  you may also use option -p in order to force padding up to the given size. This padding will result in so-called
       holes on an ext2-FS, hence the actual disk usage will not be greater.  The file created by mkfatimage16 then  can  be  used  as	a  virtual
       drive, when defined in /etc/dosemu.conf.  As long as -k is not given, the number of heads is always 4 and you have 17 sectors per head else
       it is adjusted accordingly.  To vary the size, you may either use the -t option or specify the total amount of Kbytes via -k option.

       All files given behind the options will be copied onto the hdimage. In addition a DOSEMU suitable master boot record (MBR)  is  established
       and via option -b you may specify a boot sector that gets inserted as first sector of the partition. To later access the hdimage outside of
       DOSEMU you should use mtools (/etc/mtools.conf parameters partition=1 and offset=128).

OPTIONS

       -b file
	      Insert the first 512 bytes of file into the bootsector of the partition.

       -t num Make the virtual disk have num tracks. This is the one way to define the size of the disk.

       -k Kbytes
	      Make the virtual disk be Kbytes in size. Using -t and -k are mutual exclusive.

       -l label
	      insert label as volume label for the disk.

       -f outfile
	      The hdimage is written to outfile instead of stdout

       -p     Pad the hdimage with zero up to the total size given by -t or -k (only in conjunction with -f).

BUGS

       This program doesn't support name mangling and does very little checking for non-DOS filenames.	Disk full condition  isn't  detected  (and
       probably causes erratic behaviour).  Duplicate files aren't detected.

AVAILABILITY

       Comes with DOSEMU
