I agree that it seems to be file system corruption, but dosfsck didn't
help. On unmounted device:
# dosfsck /dev/sdd
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Logical sector size is zero.

I tried mkdosfs on an unmounted device:
# mkdosfs -I /dev/sdd
mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005):
when I mounted it, the files remain. Hoever, for some reason my xterm
displays them in green, while files are normally displayed in
black. I can add and then delete a test file on the device, which also
shows up green.
