If there is a bug in msdosfs, then it might corrupt the buffer or vnode cache. Then reading of other (POSIX) file systems would probably corrupt them when the access time stomps are updated even if you don't do any explicit writes. msdosfs doesn't have access time fields so it wouldn't be affected. >the /usr filesystem?
