I think that is a different problem. In your case it may be related to
the mapping problem of device numbers between FreeBSD and Linux. Linux
only has 16 bit device numbers (8 bit major; 8 bit minor). We have 32
bit device numbers (8 bit major; 24 bit minor). This problem most
frequently pops up with NFS mounts.
