@dstoian

A workaround isn't required. It's possible to fix the device by
reformatting as outlined in my Nov 21 2008 posting.

As I stated previously, it appears some USB devices were corrupted by
a previous version of ubuntu. I have no other explanation for the
corruption of the "disk type" attribute.
