[Bug 264789] Re: USB Hard Drive Not Accessible, vol_id hangs

[Andre Schild]

In fact it's a bug in your USB device (and in many many other too)
Your USB device does return the wrong size information (1 too large)

The kernel bug is http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11843 which is the effort to work arround the bug in the usb devices.
It did work because older kernels did not try to read the last block in the past, now they try to read the last block of the device (the one the USB did tell the kernel is the last block)
But the device then rejects that request, the kernel retrys, and retrys and retrys...
