I have an identical issue. Seagate FreeAgent 320GB. Can confirm that the commands
echo 1024 > /sys/block/sdb/device/max_sectors echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_disk/X:0:0:0/allow_restart work for me. (replacing X with 6 in my case). Thanks for the temp fix. Let's hope that the kernel team fixes this. -- USB mass storage stops working after a while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
