Tested drive: works fine on XP computer, and was working yesterday. Was using HAL to automount, and admittedly, NOT unmounting before ejecting. Have tried restarting and editing both fstab and mtab. Reads disks and mounts them, but read-only, and with gross over-read attempts: 720k media often yields purported iolume sizes of 40GB or greater, while 1.44MB media has yielded partitions as large as ten GB. File names are often changed, and a few massive ones sit inside the volumes with utter gibberish names. Sometimes, mainly with 720k media, all files take 8.3 format names from internal data like WP dociument contents or ASCII text in an executable! Clearly, the drive is not reading the FAT12 tables correctly, and 720k media is yielding worse results. Drive is a Mitsumi D353FUE, though I doubt that's terribly relevant, and I updated the kernel yesterday, though the machine continued to read floppies afterwards... for a while, anyway. Anyone else having similiar woes? Google turns up some similiar reports, mostly with USB mass storage devices, but with no applicable resolutions for known-working 3.5" media.

DOSFSCK has reported:
Read 512 bytes at 0:Is a directory on a 720k
and also told me I have 246 FAT tables on a 3.5" DS/HD!
