[The drive] stops *during* the copy process....Is it attached directly to the computer? Or via a USB hub? And if via
a hub, is that one that has its own power supply? All your symptoms
sound like you either have a duff drive or you're not feeding it
enough power when it needs it.
'broken'? I couln't find an adjective 'duff' in webster's......
"Duff" is British (Aussie too) for "low-quality" as well as other
things. I'd have to agree with what Trevor wrote, as there's no way a
USB drive should spin down while it's being written to/read from. It'd
be interesting to see what you get from this:
0. Connect drive to system.
1. Read/write from/to the disk until it stops.
2. Immediately do "dmesg | tail -n 40" and reproduce all lines that have
anything to do with the SCSI or USB subsystems in a followup to this
message.
