Changelog for dosfstools-4.1-4.6.1.x86_64.rpm :

* Tue Dec 21 2021 sbrabecAATTsuse.com- To be able to create filesystems compatible with previous version, add -g command line option to mkfs (boo#1188401, dosfstools-add-g.patch).- BREAKING CHANGES: After fixing of bsc#1172863 in the last update, mkfs started to create different images than before. Applications that depend on exact FAT file format (e. g. embedded systems) may be broken in two ways:
* The introduction of the alignment may create smaller images than before, with a different positions of important image elements. It can break existing software that expect images in doststools <= 4.1 style. To work around these problems, use \"-a\" command line argument.
* The new image may contain a different geometry values. Geometry sensitive applications expecting doststools <= 4.1 style images can fails to accept different geometry values. There is no direct work around for this problem. But you can take the old image, use \"file -s $IMAGE\", check its \"sectors/track\" and \"heads\", and use them in the newly introduced \"-g\" command line argument.
