The msdosfs is damaged.  Do not use the msdosfs, or mount only
read-only.  There is a cluster size problem when you use disks
larger than 512 that aren't on a wide bus (ie: IDE > 512M).  On
very active machines, there are additional problems, and you
should not use msdosfs on those machines at all.
