I'm sorry to say a lot of USB flash sticks out there are broken and
only tested with the timing of MS Windows. Part of the problem is that
it is difficult to autodetect these issues, because once you trigger
the non- supported SCSI command, then the flash key stops working like
you experience.
Morale of the story: Don't even dare put any hardware that you need
working on FreeBSD under control of Linux or Windows. <grin>
OS X is safe.
By the way, I am serious!
Sometimes, I am inclined to believe the conspiracy theory that those
operating systems do this on purpose. Often to claim "superiority" as in
"see, it works with our OS, ok?".
I believe if we get enough details of how this particular USB stick is
exactly recognized an quirk definition for it could be added to save
future users from such behavior. But the bit "it was used with Linux"
might need to be supplied by the user.
