Same problem here. I have a Vantec 2-Port SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34 connected to an external hard drive. My computer is a Lenovo T61p running Ubuntu 11.04 with kernel Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64. The external hard drive gets unmounted and mounted back randomly. This issue happens often (every 10 minutes or so).
The hard drive works fine when it is connected to an USB 2.0 port. The same thing happens with another express card (AKE 5Gbps BC618T 54mm 2 Port USB 3.0). This comes from the kernel ring buffer (dmesg): [13673.999804] xhci_hcd 0000:05:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint [13673.999837] usb 8-1: USB disconnect, address 3 [13674.000221] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled error code [13674.000224] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [13674.000228] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 95 c7 f8 00 00 f0 00 [13674.000237] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 9816056 [13674.000254] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled error code [13674.000256] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [13674.000259] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 95 c8 e8 00 00 10 00 [13674.000266] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 9816296 [13674.031772] JBD2: Detected IO errors while flushing file data on sdb1-8 [13674.031787] Aborting journal on device sdb1-8.
