Just skimming through the thread.... Firstly what does the tool lsusb tells you? For my usbstick it says: ursa:/var/log # lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1606:0010 Umax [hex] Astra 1220U Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0951:1600 Kingston Technology Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 And in verbose mode: ursa:/var/log # lsusb -v -s 1:3 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0951:1600 Kingston Technology Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x0951 Kingston Technology idProduct 0x1600 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 Kingston iProduct 2 DataTraveler II iSerial 3 5B580D0039A5 <snip> Secondly, as /var/log/messages is talking about: sde, what does: fdisk /dev/sde tells you? (presuming the kernel keeps on detecting the drive as "/dev/sde" each time you remove/insert (or power-off/power-on) the drive....
