Greeting-

Maybe as another data point you could install a USB flash directly, no
usb hub, to your BeagleBone and then format it with at least one UFS
partation and try what I did:

cd /usr/ports

tar cpf - . | (cd /USBFLASH/ports ; tar xpvf -)

You could also try 

rsync -acv . /USBFLASH/ports

That too failed with UFS on the Flash Drive.

It may be that no one else is seeing this problem because no one else
has tried on a USB Flash Drive.  I am thinking it might be something
about the combination of USBFLASH and UFS.  I know others say they are
doing fine with rotating usb drives.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army 
pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and 
gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.
