I have a USB drive camera that mounts like any other USB disk drive. I'm using FC3 kept up to date with the latest updates (kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 etc.). I have just tried to transfer some pictures from the USB drive, and 0n 3 occasions the machine hung completely whilst the drive was plugged in. On 2 occasions during the transfer, but once whilst it was simply plugged in and I was doing something else. The camera if it matters, is an olympus c60z.
I've seen this on 2 different laptops with various USB storage devices (an 80GB Ion drive and a few SD/CF readers and even my PSP). Sometimes it's right after you umount the volume, other times it's up to a few hours later. I've been booting into the 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel. I haven't seen the issue come back yet.
I suspect last time I tried this was with a 2.6.10 or earlier kernel, not the current 2.6.11
I still have the older kernel so next time I need to do this, I'll use that kernel and see what happens.
