Large files on USB hard disk - continued with /var/log/messages

[Davor Herga]

This is from /var/log/messages if it will be of any help:


Starting when USB hard drive was attached:

Starting when large file was trying to be copied on /media/NEW_VOLUME2

> Dec 11 15:27:07 lan-2 kernel: usb 1-2: reset high speed USB device

> using address 2

After this, the copying hangs. There is also no chance to reboot the 
machine. When USB hard disk was unpluged this messages were written:

After this the system rebooted.

Any ideas?

ENjoY!
