Are any USB communication errors being logged along with the md and ext3 errors? Are you sure it's a disk drive problem and not an issue with the kernel drivers, system BIOS, USB controller, cabling, or a combination thereof? How long (days, weeks, months, years) did this exact setup function properly before you started seeing these problems? Did you recently perform any major software upgrades (kernel/drivers) shortly before this problem surfaced? Is this a laptop? If so which make/model? What's the make/model of the USB disk drives? What is the age of each piece of hardware we're discussing? -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
