Hello, fellow OpenBSD people.
I recently got one of those dumb usb external drives, the ones with
windows -only backup software included and an "auto-sleep" feature and
metallic-colored plastic claiming to be metal. It's a "1TB" Seagate
FreeAgent Desk, although it actually only appears to be a little over
900 GB. I deleted the backup software and reformatted it by newfs-ing it
to ffs. The system recognizes it and mounts it using the umass0 driver.
When I tried copying my data onto it, my system crashed about 80
gigabytes into the transfer. I couldn't exit X, I couldn't hibernate;
nothing. Had to hold down the power key.
I looked through my logs and found this piece of evidence:
