Oho! A breakthrough, once I realized that ldm_validate_privheads() is part of support for Microsoft Logical Disk Manager partition tables (aka "databases") rather than something more obscure.
Something, somewhere is invoking the Logical Disk Manager support, but apparently not failing over to the other common formats when that doesn't find a table. Simply mounting the disk -- even "mount /dev/sde /mnt" with no options properly autodetects the VFAT filesystem -- does actually work! This might not be a kernel bug after all, but I'll leave that to someone who knows what's actually calling ldm_parse_privhead(). -- USB floppy support troubles with 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
