I think this is actually due to the fact that the hal daemon polls your
device and the ub driver is overly verbose.
Ah, fair enough.
Another problem: /proc/bus/usb is not being mounted at boot, that
might
explain the lsusb problems?
That too, though both are not really serious concerns for me, but thanks :)
I turned off voluntary preemption at boot time and JFS on USB seems
more stable now.. almost as stable as -526. I discovered the problem
initially when using -526, halfway through a DVD->XviD job, I lost
access to the whole external drive. Rebooting to -533 revealed that
the situation is even worse there (until voluntary preemption is
turned off).
Would be nice to have /proc/sys/kernel knobs to control preemption
though. Are those removed by upstream or by Red Hat developers?
(Though since in this case upstream = Ingo who works for Red Hat,
there's not much difference)
