Probably nothing, other than using a faulty port/cable and/or faulty drive.
Have a look at dmesg and syslog for I/O errors.
Have you tried a different port and different USB cable? Unless it is an
eSATA, in which case you will need an eSATA port/cable.

When using Secure Boot the UEFI firmware check the binaries to be
loaded have been signed by Microsoft. The 'SHA256 verified' message
indicates the systemd-boot binary is signed using a key which is
ultimately signed by Microsoft and is contained in the whitelist

I think we are confusing terms
st run 'fsck.vfat -v /dev/nvme0n1p2' with the partition not mounted
to see if there is any fs corruption. If there is something wrong with its

python 2.7 becomes deprecated in the future it will fall out of the portage

Yep! It sounds like an amazing idea! I vote we rename it $WINDOWS/ and see
how fast someone can spin an image on Azure. :p

Having used and still using other binary distros I'm grateful Gentoo's still
here, but would really prefer it did not bend itself out of shape to
accommodate solutions to problems I and others do not have, or when we do we
may not even use Gentoo to solve them.

you make sure installations of the same binaries are installed/copied

It is a hack alright, to restore the previous default /usr functionality, so a
useful option to consider. If I were to be asked my preference would be to
revert the systemd inspired changes which caused this loss of functionality.

Unless you're building binaries to redistribute it doesn't make sense to set
it globally. I vaguely recall something going sideways with openssl when I
had this flag set in the past, so I've left it unset since.

Could it be the systemd upgrade you refer to interfered with any udev rules
you had set up to deal with your external drive, or in any case changes in
udev rules are no longer agreeable with your external device?

nto the linux directory and modify its config:
cd linux
make xconfig
When you're done tweaking things make sure you save your changes before you
make clean && make && make modules_install && make install
The last bit copies over the kernel for you to /boot if you don't want to do
this manually or use your own naming convention.
