The Input/Output error is bad (I usually see it when dealing with
failing hard drives).  It happens when weird things go on with USB
devices.  Removing and re-inserting is usually a good idea.

There are some significant limitations to all of the FAT filesystems.
As you are probably using localization settings (ie. your language is
not set to en-us), I would recommend not just copying your home
directory to a FAT filesystem.  Use tar and compression to preserve
UTF-8 characters and permissions.  When you copy things back from a FAT
filesystem that meta data is lost.
