I recently got a (rather nice otherwise) sound recorder that connects via USB to a computer.
When I plug it in, I get this in my /var/log/messages: Mar 5 04:14:35 ono-sendai kernel: usb 2-1.4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 64 Mar 5 04:14:35 ono-sendai kernel: usb 2-1.4: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub Mar 5 04:14:35 ono-sendai kernel: usb 2-1.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Mar 5 04:14:35 ono-sendai kernel: scsi47 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: scsi 47:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB CELLO DISK 1000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] 246864 512-byte hardware sectors (126 MB) Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] 246864 512-byte hardware sectors (126 MB) Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sdb: sdb1 Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sdb: p1 exceeds device capacity Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: scsi 47:0:0:1: Direct-Access USB CELLO DISK 1000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:1: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk Mar 5 04:14:40 ono-sendai kernel: sd 47:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Mar 5 04:14:41 ono-sendai kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Mar 5 04:14:41 ono-sendai kernel: sdb: rw=0, want=251840, limit=246864 Mar 5 04:14:41 ono-sendai kernel: printk: 116 messages suppressed.

It mounts fine any way. Then, as I try to copy files, something happens... my MP3 sound clips get mangled. Not much... but when played, they go about 5 seconds, then repeat the last 3 where the next three should be, and so on. Anyone have any ideas what's going on here? Is the device not liking my low-speed hub? Is the memory on the device bad? How might I check? FSCK? ...cound be I'm not thinking straight at almost 4:30 am... but I'm at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
