I have had similar problems, and CHKDSK found nothing wrong with my
disk before or after. I am also using an IDE disk (Western Digital
WDAC2420); the MSDOS partition was fdisk'ed and formatted using MSDOS
6.00, and is 125 MB in size (2K clusters). When I rebooted into DOS,
an 0-length entry for the file I had tried to write was in the
directory; so it created the directory entry OK but choked when it
tried to write the data. I didn't get the problem consistently; I was
able to write some small files to the MSDOS partition before my system
hung.
I am getting the latest sources from iastate now; at some point in the
near future I'll build a kernel with DDB and see what I can find out.
However, since I know little about kernel innards, that probably won't
be much.
