I wanted to run fsck to repair a VFAT filesystem on a 2GB SD card, on Fedora 12. I got an 'invalid argument' error as seen below. What does it mean in this context? Is it not possible to check a filesystem on a SD card?

$ fsck -t vfat /dev/sdd1
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16.2
dosfsck 3.0.9, 31 Jan 2010, FAT32, LFN
Seek to 2031225344:Invalid argument

Seems like a bug in dosfsck: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693662

Apparently, no update for Fedora 12.

Some more info can be found here: http://daniel-baumann.ch/gitweb/?p=software/dosfstools.git;a=blob;f=ChangeLog;hb=0d2c9bcd6ac21d1ef6fab5b563334fe1e1f743ba#l655

Consider compiling newer version from the sources or grab the rpm from Daniel's page. Good luck!

  • Well, I can not copy the files because the file system seems damaged. I wanted to try bringing it to an usable state so I can copy things off it. –  Sep 24 '10 at 17:32
  • I think you may have meant chkdsk, rather than System File Checker. – ThatGraemeGuy Nov 29 '10 at 19:40
