Sometimes when I use external hard disk through usb, the system may

Just a guess, but I would think that atausb only works for external  
drives connected via USB, whereas umass is used for all mass storage  
devices connected via USB (cameras, flash cards, thumb drives, etc).


The online manpages don't turn up anything for atausb, so I'm unsure  
what that feature does exactly in the kernel.
