My theory is that some drives have problems when lots of data gets written to them (too quickly?), and so they lock up ... what we don't know is just why they seem to lock up, but we do know that resetting the drive makes a decent recovery strategy. One way to see if the drive itself has locked up is to run "lsusb -v", since that will issue control requests to the device. Of course there are several potential modes of lockup; they don't all prevent control transfers from working, some could only affect the bulk transfers used to issue commands to the USB drive, and to read/write data. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
