For the first time, I just managed to completely hang my system while writing to the device under 2.5.73. This was happening frequently in the 2.4 series, but it's worth noting that it still occurs with the latest kernel as well.
Again, no "SOS" blinking LEDs, no mouse or keyboard, no power switch--had to do a hard reset to get back. The last entries in syslog before the crash are the same as usual: Jul 1 17:26:38 joehill kernel: usb-storage: scsi cmd done, result=0x0 Jul 1 17:26:38 joehill kernel: usb-storage: *** thread sleeping.
