If your system is reporting errors that the file descriptor is bad, one of possible causes is that file system is corrupt and thus, you require restoring from backup. But if backup is not valid enough to restore complete information, you need to use advanced Linux Data Recovery applications.
I had successful connections from my main workstation PC (which uses Fedora 29 Workstation) to my mother's laptop (Windows 7 HP) network share few times using mount.cifs, but since not too long it has become impossible for me to do it.
For example, using Nautilus, connecting to smb://192.168.0.2/Data asks for a credentials (although it should be stored permanently for this share already), and even when you enter a correct username and password, it does nothing but just prompts for how to login again.
Using mount -t cifs was also successful in the past but not anymore, since it returns an error as following:
dmesg isn't also very helpful on its' side:
Specifying the PC name and/or removing any or all of options does not help in any way.

Edit: someone from the community has noticed that official update fixing the problem has been released; this link provides a solution:
Microsoft released the Update KB4487345 to fix the issue:
This update resolves the issue where local users who are part of the local “Administrators“ group may not be able to remotely access shares on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 machines after installing the January 8th, 2019 security updates. This does not affect domain accounts in the local 'Administrators' group.
So download and install the update by doing a double click on the msu file.

I copied two .MTS video files from an SD card to an external drive, over USB 3.0. One file was ok, the other did not get a thumbnail and attempting to access it bsplayer froze and could not be terminated even with end process. Clicking on properties on the file made explorer freeze such that it could neither be closed by end process. Have to force restart the computer every time I attempt to access this file now. Can not delete the file either.
Renamed it to .avi. Sat VLC to fix file on load. That made VLC show the following Error: 'File reading failed: VLC could not read the file (Bad file descriptor).'
I ran check disk through Explorer > Properties > Tools > Check now. This did not find any errors.
