Hi, Some time ago I reported problems with a LaCie USB2.0 external harddisk and complete system lockup. My hardware setup is simple, attach LaCie disk to laptop, load relevant modules, check that disk appears in /dev/scsi/...
My usage of the storage was perhaps less straight forward. I was using CryptoAPI and loopmounting the created partitions using AES encryption and using ReiserFS or EXT2 on top of that. I know the cryptoloop procedure works, as I have a 0.5GB filesystem in LVM that works quite nicely that way. Yesterday I pulled the latest code from CVS having seen that a few files was updated some days ago. Built and installed the modules and tried again over night. This time I skipped the cryptoloop step and just put a ReiserFS directly on the partition on the LaCie disk. 9.8GB of data backed up quite nicely over night and all seems to have worked quite happily without errors. I will re-run this test using the cryptoloop step to verify wether the problem lies in the loop/CryptoAPI code or in the USB Storage code. To sum up, the LaCie USB2.0 harddisk is now fully functional AFAICT. I am running the code that is in CVS as of 2002-04-04. /Anders
