What follows is a description of a problem I used to have when running FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1. [...] After the installation of the OS (usually about 8-12 days of running non-stop) I start getting "Bad File Descriptor" errors on random files all around the Maxtor drive and I have to go to single-user mode in order to run a full fsck on the system. After that, the system works, until in 8-12 days time even more files get "corrupted" this way and the process has to be repeated. Eventually, so many files are damaged that a full OS reinstall is required.
I had exactly the same experiences while using the same FreeBSD versions. The filesystems slowly died without any direct sign pointing to hardware problems. But, after having exchanged the harddisk with a newer one, the effect never occured again.
