Sorry being late to the party and I have multiple confirmations to
different mails, so these went in one bag.

Yes, kernel somehow constructs i-node numbers from VFAT (which doesn't
have i-node per se). Thus, in your listing, multiple files with same
i-node -- filesystem is corrupted.

Yes, mtools can manipulate 8.3 FAT names instead of VFAT names. But, as
we confirmed, filesystem is corrupted -- it won't help either.

If everything fails -- consider magicrescue.
