Maybe it is just USB drive weirdness. Each drive I have apparently
includes a hub, not just a direct drive connection (some sort
of nonsense related to the Windows encryption stuff I utterly
ignore). Usb 2 port 8 is apparently the hub, not the drive:
/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/10p, 10000M
|__ Port 3: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M
|__ Port 5: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M
|__ Port 8: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M
|__ Port 1: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M
I swear the next time I get a new backup drive it is simply going
to be one of those devices you can plug a sata disk into to talk
over USB. Protect me from all the "helpful" features :-).
