@John, thank you for following up with that suggestion. Client reports a snappy backup!
I worked up a bit of automation for the processes, as follows: # fixext_backup.sh #!/bin/bash -x cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd USBDRIVE=`/usr/bin/find ./ -name "0000:00:*"` echo $USBDRIVE echo $USBDRIVE | /bin/sed "s/\.\///">unbind echo $USBDRIVE | /bin/sed "s/\.\///">bind /usr/sbin/lsusb /bin/sleep 5 /usr/sbin/lsusb The first lsusb indeed does not find the drive, the second one after waiting five seconds does, and the client may carry on with their backup procedure at that point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645211 Title: USB HDD and Flash Drives no longer recognized -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
