Even that "gibberish" is found by Google. What a search engine!

James, check whether this RedHat bugzilla report applies:

***
Bug 443046 - Doesn't check for space when creating overlay, trashes
filesystem
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443046

OK, including you as well as the list.

This could be a corrupted file system. Try running an "fsck -t vfat"
and see if that fixes the problem.

Otherwise, I would be inclined to suspect connector or cabling issues.

Does the USB device work in other systems? If it does, I'd look at the
hardware on your system, first.
