Dump it. I had one of these Genesys Logic enclosures myself and it caused
some PITA. After replacing it with a Maxtor Onetouch USB harddisk all of
the problems disapeared.
BTW: The problems were not only FreeBSD related. My girlfriend had the
same thing running on WinXP where it caused similar problems.

Hello.
Thank you very much for the answers.
Well, the suspicous drive had two connectors, both were connected to an
USB port (I think to provide the necessary power). Exchanging the USB
cord with a normal single-headed one let the problem disappear.
It was funny to realize thast the same drive showed up 22 MB/s on WinXP
(max) and only 7 MB/s on FreeBSD (both machines use the same mainboard,
ASUS A8N-SLI/NForce4 chipset. On FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE, both cabling-types
(dual and single head) run the disk only with 7 MB/s.
Nice to hear that Onetouch USB drives work well.
Best regards,
Oliver
