Hi all, I had a USB drive go offline this morning with a bunch of these errors in the kernel log: [...] localhost kernel: Additional sense: Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 12375 [...] After trying in vain to umount/remount the disk in terminal, I ended up powering the disk down and then turning it back on again. It was automatically remounted without problem and *appears* normal (I have yet to run fsck on it). This and some weirdness I was having with another USB drive earlier this fall have me wondering whether this interface is really robust enough for continual use. (I have used up the four internal SATA interfaces in my box which is why I am using an USB drive.) Thoughts anyone? -- Colin Brace Amsterdam
