I did a little research on my own (on the theme of logs), and I found the following in /var/log/messages:The time on the above makes me suspicious. 17 seconds after a new hour (14), this occurs. Could an hourly cron job be causing this? A failure at 14:00:00, followed by, say 16 seconds of error recovery attempts, and then when all is lost it produces this message a second later. I know its a bit far fetched, but coincidence in the computer business isn't coincidence usually.

Check your previous message logs (message1, message2, etc) to see if you can find a pattern of failure all around the same time.
I then located the following link: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-November/msg02386.htmlSorry, but you're best able to say if you think its related. You have the first hand experience.
Is my issue like the one referred to in the email that I put the link for?
All we do are Linux servers, and we usually turn USB off via the BIOS, as we have no use for what we consider a flakey technology. We also stopped using SCSI when the 3WARE SATA controllers hit the market and have never looked back. Even backup is done to disk now, so we have absolutley no use for SCSI.
Now you need some folks that are USB literate, and I'm not.
