** Description changed:

  Description:
  
  When the speed of data with a usb disk device is too high, the probes
  that check if the disk still exists is missed. This makes the disk to be
  unmounted and is remounted with an other drive letter (/dev/sdX). If
  this disk is the root ("/"), the computer hangs.
  
  A usb SSD-disk (4 TB) connected to a USB port reproduce this bug easily.
  This has never happened with a mechanical USB-drive.
  
  Symptoms and how to reproduce:
  
  1) (Disk mounted as root) Computer hangs. Only way to get started again
  is a hard reset.
  
  2) (Erasing disk, not mounted as root) If you erase a disk with dd ("dd
  if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX"), the disk disappears from the mounted list
  and reappears as an other drive letter. In my case the data is
  redirected to /dev/null and the fans speed up. The apparent data
  transfer speed is also increased. Usually this happens after about 45 to
  60 minutes.
  
  3) Fill RAM with programs and make sure the swap to this disk is used.
