After running CHKDSK and responding "Y" to write changes, I am left with the following in the root of my FAT32 volume:

11-13-76  13:49          32,256      0  FILE0000.CHK

76 should be 16.

When checking FAT32 media (0.10alpha7, 10/20/2016 UFAT32), and corrections must be written to disk, the message breaks before prompting for input:

[c:\]chkdsk n: /f
The current hard disk drive is: N:
The type of file system for the disk is FAT32.
The FAT32 file system program has been started.

The screen stops at this line, apparently waiting for input. Pressing Ctrl-C yields us the rest of the story:

^C

them to files.  Do you want to convert them to files(Y/N)?

Likewise, simply pressing "Y" will complete the pass (but one must know that this is the prompt).

When the dirty flag is set - for whatever reason - media should not be mounted and available for writing until checked. This is expected behavior on OS/2.

While autocheck may work for always-connected-at-boot-time media, it does not work for removable media.

Currently, USB media inserted after boot time with the dirty flag set is simply mounted. This may lead to further data corruption unless chkdsk is performed against the volume.
