It appears dosfsck may not be working quite right. I've taken this into
account, hence the second pass after each fsck. This is either a
dosfsck issue, a usb-storage issue for the PNY compact flash drive, or
an issue with vfat itself.
So either LKML needs to fix the drivers, or Ubuntu needs to upgrade/fix
dosfsck or some patch they've applied to the kernel.
