Failure again, while copying from a welland psc (power saving caddy) to
a normal firewire caddy. 5gb into copy.
Here is the strange ls output:
root at cesspit:/mnt# ls -la usb2/

While watching the copy, I noticed the psc power down during a copy, the
kde copy dialog stalled while the messages "usb 2-4: reset high speed
USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17" were printing to var/log. The
copy did resume once, picked back up normal speed but powered down again
a 2nd time and failed to come back online.
trying to remount the device has been working over the past few days but
not today, output (note I use labels for mounting):
root at cesspit:/mnt# umount usb2
root at cesspit:/mnt# mount usb2
Error opening '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address
You seem to have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware and must use an activated,
different device under /dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1)
to mount NTFS. Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.
Power cycling fixed the device. I will note this drive is a bit old and
noisy but has never presented any issues when in use on my fileserver
(connected internally). The issues are also not present in windows xp on
any machines. I would suspect ntfs to be contributing to the issue but
the other identical psc has the same issue though it doesnt not need to
be power cycled as often.
I did contact welland regarding the issue and the had this to say:
Dear Customer,
Thanks for your mail and purchased our product.
Pls. use our power saving AP tool to control the time of power down.
By the way, may I know where are you from? Thanks.
Thanks & Best regards,

I does seem they didnt realise I am in linux but I will plug these psc
into a windows pc, use the tool to raise the timeout and retry. The
latest kernel does not seem to fix the issue after all but it does seem
an improvement.
