This is caused by the kernel returning ENOTBLK, which I think still
makes sense in the kernel. It's possible that the errno should be
translated to a different string though...

	David.

./fs/hpfs/hpfs_vfsops.c:                err = ENOTBLK;
./fs/ntfs/ntfs_vfsops.c:                err = ENOTBLK;
./i386/ibcs2/ibcs2_errno.c:     IBCS2_ENOTBLK,          /* 15 */
./kern/vfs_aio.c:               if (error == ENOTBLK)
./kern/vfs_subr.c:                      *errp = ENOTBLK;
./kern/vfs_subr.c:                      *errp = ENOTBLK;
./compat/svr4/svr4_sysvec.c:        SVR4_ENOTBLK,
