Syslinux 3.62 (Release branch)
ImageSYSLINUX is a collection of boot loaders for the Linux operating system which operates on Linux EXT2/EXT3 filesystems, MS-DOS FAT filesystems, network servers using PXE firmware, or from CD-ROMs. SYSLINUX has an advanced extension API and contains two optional menu systems. It also includes MEMDISK, a tool for booting legacy operatingsystems from non-traditional media like PXE or CD-ROM. License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
The primary new feature of this release is supportfor hierarchical submenus in the simple menusystem. In addition to that, this releaseeliminates a lot of hardcoded limitations, such asthe maximum number of labels, which are now onlylimited by memory, and the length of the commandline. Furthermore, this release fixes thegraphical display on systems which do not supportthe linear framebuffer option in the VESA BIOS.Image

fsck_msdos

FSCK_MSDOS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     FSCK_MSDOS(8)

NAME

     fsck_msdos -- DOS/Windows (FAT) filesystem consistency checker

SYNOPSIS

     fsck_msdos -p [-f] filesystem ...
     fsck_msdos [-fny] [-x snap-backup] filesystem ...

DESCRIPTION

     The fsck_msdos utility verifies and repairs FAT filesystems (more commonly known as DOS filesystems).

     The first form of fsck_msdos preens the specified filesystems.  It is normally started by fsck(8) run from /etc/rc during automatic reboot,
     when a FAT filesystem is detected.  When preening file systems, fsck_msdos will fix common inconsistencies non-interactively.  If more seri-
     ous problems are found, fsck_msdos does not try to fix them, indicates that it was not successful, and exits.

     The second form of fsck_msdos checks the specified file systems and tries to repair all detected inconsistencies, requesting confirmation
     before making any changes.

     The options are as follows:

     -f 	       This option is ignored by fsck_msdos, and is present only for compatibility with programs that check other file system
		       types for consistency, such as fsck_ffs(8).

     -n 	       Causes fsck_msdos to assume no as the answer to all operator questions, except ``CONTINUE?''.

     -p 	       Preen the specified filesystems.

     -x snap-backup    Use a snapshot with snap-backup as backup to check a read-write mounted filesystem.  Must be used with -n.  See fss(4) for
		       more details.  The point is to check an internally-consistent version of the filesystem to find out if it is damaged; on
		       failure one should unmount the filesystem and repair it.

     -y 	       Causes fsck_msdos to assume yes as the answer to all operator questions.

BUGS

     fsck_msdos is still under construction.
