Something happens along the way and we find that our error recovery to that something is bad and we never complete more I/O to the device (if I read the earlier thread right). No good can come from this. The OOM is then doing weird things, but when the device goes away we're pretty bad at coping right now. The question, though, is how can we improve the USB / umass parts of the stack to do enough error recovery so we can survive whatever glitch that's causing it to stop talking to the device (and/or avoid that glitch in the first place). The disk/ssd isn't really bad, but we have some bug either in the USB host adapter, the USB stack, or in the umass SIM (or some combination). Warner
