Hello, I've got this external USB2 hard-drive. It is formatted to
reiserfs.

Now, this has happened many times now, on both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels: Suddenly
the hard-drive is not responding from my computer. This happens without me
doing anything with it. Every process trying to access it hangs and it's 
impossible to kill those processes or umount the hard-drive properly (umount
-f works partly) because the drive is busy. I got a message in all terminals
saying "kernel: journal-601, buffer write failed". Reiserfs panics when it 
cannot access the drive.

There's also some bad-looking errors in /var/log/messages.
The first line says: SCSI disk error : host 1 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return
code = 8000000 and another line says kernel BUG at prints.c:341! and then follows
a stack trace... I've turned on reiserfs and usb debugging, so that it might help
resolving the problem. I'll put the logs online if anyone could help me please..?

The hard-drive is pretty new (about a month since I bought it). I tried to reboot
the computer without shutting down the external hard-drive and the drive mounts
perfectly, so it seems it's something in my system or other hardware causing the
problem... perhaps the USB2.0 controller?

Can anyone help me out here?

I have provided some logs which I've put online:

I am not in the linux-usb-users mailing lists, so it would be nice if you could CC
any replies to this message to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
