Hi

My external USB disk has never been 100% reliable, but since recently it 
seems to be causing USB resets more often than before. Therefore a couple 
questions:

1. Is it dying? should I look for a replacement?
2. Before, if such a reset happened when the disk was mounted it 
definitely meant SCSI errors, most probably, a disconnect. Now (2.6.22 
Debian kernel) these resets seem to be handled transparently - no SCSI or 
fs errors, just a delay in data transfer and then it just continues. Is it 
indeed a (relatively) new feature? How normal is it? And how reliable is 
the recovery? Well, I presume it should be reliable since there are no 
SCSI / fs errors, but...

In short - shall I worry or shall I not?:-)

Thanks
Guennadi
