Thanks for the reply, Chris. I found interesting this intervention of Laurence because (as you know I'm on usb storage devices from an age and..) in front of an hang problem of the usb peripherals Laurence pointed out about the different performances on the usb stack can be a reasonable cause of the hanging.
I was curious to gain technical confirmations about this possibility, to keep usb peripherals separated from storage devices, that time to time I did it but let say I havent it adopted like my standard yet. I can take also a fresh example. This night I was passing by an old Puppy Linux where in the end for an inappropriate 'autoadddevice' set to true in its xorg.conf all my usb peripherals hanged sometimes not repponding neither after a reboot. For who is working in this kind of fashion like mine usb separation (hub = physically and in memory addresses ) could be reasonably suggestable to have, question ( ? ) -Dan Chris Bennett <cpb_m...@bennettconstruction.us>: > On Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 01:40:56PM +0100, Dan via misc wrote: >> >> Interesting.. >> >> Laurence Tratt via misc <misc@openbsd.org>: >> >>> This sounds to me like it might be due to USB stack performance problems, >>> though you'll at least want to give `dmesg` output so that those who better >>> understand this have a chance of helping. >>> >>> FWIW, there seem to be notable differences in USB performance on nominally >>> similar hardware with OpenBSD. >> >> Do you suggest to phisically (hub) separate peripherals from >> eg. storage devices for who is working in this kind of fashion? >> >> -Dan >> > > I used a powered USB hub on a laptop that somehow solved a bunch of > connectivity problems to the laptop's USB3 port. > I needed a powered hub to run both the wifi dongle and a spinning USB > hard drive. No idea why it worked, but it did. NB: keep Orwell with you, we are fine.
