I'm backing up to a NTFS partition on an external USB drive with dump. I'm seeing failures in /var/log/messages reading sector 0xFFFFFFF that cause the verify pass to fail. Are there any known problems in the USB driver?

I don't know if there are any USB related problems. But a current kernel might fix things.
