Hi,
As FreeBSD 6.2 is available now, I notice that a new feature is
that ata
driver can support usb mass transport by enable atausb in the kernel.
I'd like to know if atausb has any advantages over traditional umass.
Sometimes when I use external hard disk through usb, the system may
hang. I wonder if atausb solved this problem or not?

Just a guess, but I would think that atausb only works for external
drives connected via USB, whereas umass is used for all mass storage
devices connected via USB (cameras, flash cards, thumb drives, etc).
The online manpages don't turn up anything for atausb, so I'm unsure
what that feature does exactly in the kernel.
