The following reply was made to PR usb/99419; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, list@understudy.net Cc: Subject: Re: usb/99419: external usb harddrive slow to accept Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 22:46:19 +0100 I have another datapoint that is interesting. This problem does not appear to be even FreeBSD specific. I bought two of these devices. One of them was plugged into the FreeBSD machine (as per previous post). The second one I was holding off on. But today I inserted it into an OpenSolaris machine (NexentaOS_20061012), and am experiencing almost EXACTLY the same problem. The kernel will detect the presence of it immediately, but trying to list contents of /devices/pci@... just leads to a hang. Until about 25 minutes or so later when the kernel reports that the device is "online", and /devices stops hanging (and rmformat etc works again). Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Solaris USB implementation 100% independent of the FreeBSD implementation? If so, and given the very specific and IMO weird symptom of this bug, does not this indicate there may be an actual bug in the device (even if it's not triggered in Windows or Linux)? -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
