I am not sure if this problem has been addressed already. I read some
about the fast-fail issues and this may be related?
On nearly all my USB block devices, I have been getting zillions of I/O
errors. But they aren't real, they don't appear with 2.6.23 kernels.
I can often read and write data to the device, but these IO errors cause
error aborts in user space applications in many cases, making it a
chancy thing to run backup software, for example.
Here is a bit of dmesg from plugging in a perfectly good USB-2 flash
drive.

Yes, this is breakage in the scsi tree. I believe that the offending patch
has been found and I have a nasty fix somewhere in my inbox - it involves
reverting a patch which doesn't revert properly. I haven't got onto
looking at it yet, sorry.
