[Resurrecting an old thread, and assuming a better solution hasn't already been
found...]
Yesterday I had opportunity to use an external USB 3.0 drive with the released
CentOS 6.2 LiveDVD (booting from a USB stick) to make an image of my laptop's
internal drive, which is beginning to show pre-failure signs (reallocated
sector count is high).
The CentOS 6.2 Live media's kernel (which should be the same as the SL Live
media's kernel once the SL Live media is released) found and used the Wester
Digital external USB 3 drive on my generic USB 3.0 ExpressCard controller
perfectly, and the image took about the same amount of time, 4.5 hours, as an
eSATA image to a similar drive using an ExpressCard eSATA controller. This is
half the time that a USB 2.0 image had taken a few months ago.
So this issue should be resolved fully with the SL 6.2 kernel, if a 6.1 kernel
has not already resolved it.
A security errata kernel that is based on the kernel that was released
with Update 2 is now available as a "security" kernel for SL 6.0 and 6.1 .
