This disk (a 500GB Maxtor OneTouch usb2 drive) has never shown up in the lsusb output. Things like little thumb drives show up when I plug them in, but the maxtor seems to look far more like a fixed disk than anything else (it shows up in /proc/scsi for instance, but not /proc/usb-storage). Anyway, it has stayed /dev/sdc since I rebooted. Don't know what the one time jump to /dev/sdd was about.
