Because the drive disconnects after being mounted and later also gives IO errors.

And there are more IO errors because the drive then reconnects, gets sdf assigned but disconnects again. Anyway, this is either USB stack or HW problem. If you see it only with some kernel and not with other, it might be worth pursuing further. Otherwise I'd try to play with HW... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
