Sorry I cannot run apport-collect as the machine has no GUI. I have
tried the command on the console and via ssh but the resulting text-mode
screen seems to prevent me entering my email address to log in.
I also tried apport-cli but it had the same problem with the same
authentication screen.
As for logs, I did include the relevant syslog entries in the original
report, if that helps.

I/O errors when trying to loop mount an image
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Command
sudo mount -t vfat flop1 /mnt/flop1
fails. The image is readable but the log shows many I/O errors such as

The command, understandably, reports "can't read superblock on
/dev/loop0". The problem happens even on newly created images. Here's
a sample set of commands and responses:
$ mkfs.msdos -C flop1 1440
$ ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1474560 May 10 18:49 flop1
$ hd flop1
<--- output looks reasonable including 55 aa and two FATs --->
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/flop1
$ sudo mount -o loop flop1 /mnt/flop1
mount: /mnt/flop1: can't read superblock on /dev/loop0.
$ losetup -f
/dev/loop0
$
I see plenty of reports of similar on different websites but without
resolution, including one on Launchpad but where the OP stopped
responding so it did not get resolved. I don't know when this problem
started to occur on this machine.
If it's relevant, this is running under VirtualBox which reports
itself as Version 5.2.26 r128414 (Qt5.6.2) with their 'host
extensions' enabled. However, mounting a floppy image previously
worked on this virtual machine.
I have rebooted with /forcefsck to check the root (and only)
filesystem. I have upgraded to the latest LTS Ubuntu, as below, but
the problem persists.
