I think I see what the problem is... > SCSI device sda: 160836481 512-byte hdwr sectors (82348 MB) That's a rather suspicious-looking number -- disks almost never have an odd number of sectors. Probably the drive is reporting that it has one more sector than it really does. > SCSI error : <0 0 0 0> return code = 0x70000 > end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 160836480 > Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 160836480 And sure enough, an error crops up when trying to read what should be the last sector. In itself the error would be harmless, but the drive fails to respond properly when the system tries to recover from the error, which makes things even worse. I can prepare a patch to fix this, but I'll need the information in your /proc/bus/usb/devices file (with the drive plugged in).
