Comment (by Chris Johns):

 Replying to [ticket:2944 Sebastian Huber]:
 > Removing the function call in msdos_shut_down ( .. ) to close the root
 file descriptor solves the problem perfectly (clean fsck).

 I assume you mean fat_file_close?

 > However, we're a bit unsure about the intent behind closing the root
 directory.

 There is memory allocated in fat_file_open which you would leak.

 I see the fat_file_close calls fat_buf_release and if the fs_info cache is
 not empty it is holding a bdbuf buffer so this would cause a leak of
 buffers.

 What about the fat_file_close calls in the msdos init call on error? Would
 they also cause the same problem?
