I have what I feel is a serious problem with FreeBSD 2.1.7

The Root partition is on a 320M disk, With bin, doc, dict and X.

The problem comes when I use mount_msdos to mount a 1G partition
of my 2.5Gb Quantum Bigfoot.

After a few commands, I start getting errors:
bad file descriptor.

Unmounting the disk does not clear it, and last night the dev files
were giving bad file descriptor errors resulting in a non bootable system.

Has anyone else experienced these problems ?
