It seems the weird name was coming from a corrupted volume label in the root folder of the filesystem. dosfslabel cannot read or set the volume label in the root folder (#506786), hence my confusion.
It still seems an unlikely coincidence that the volume label should have gone corrupt at exactly the same time that I plugged both players into the computer. I had mine plugged in earlier that day without any problem. I will try to get a hold of the second player again and see if I can reproduce this, and in particular if I can reproduce it without Thunar and then without HAL running. -- John On 11/04/2010 03:36 PM, Yves-Alexis Perez wrote: > On jeu., 2010-11-04 at 15:06 -0400, John Lindgren wrote: >> udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_8861_AA86' >> block.device = '/dev/sdb1' (string) >> block.is_volume = true (bool) >> info.product = 'ȱ?B5D1AQ' (string) > thunar pick the info from there. so yes, seems you have an issue with > that partition.
