I remember there was an msdosfs corruption problem reported
a few months ago.  It could be worked around by disabling
read/write clustering when mounting the file systems (see
the options in the mount(8) manpage).

I don't think this issue is related, but it might still be
worth a try.

That's expected.  That kernel option doesn't exist anymore
because it was converted to a mount option (for example,
"mount -o large /dev/foo /media/bar").

It's certainly not related to the corruption problem.
