I didn't do that, but what I did do was download a nightly build for Fedora 21, a live CD image, burn it to a disc and boot that. One would think it has a recent kernel (I neglected to look while it was running to find out what kernel it was).
so I ran a bunch of commands to copy stuff to and from it, and while it took a few minutes, it also failed in more or less the same way. I'd guess that means that whatever the bug is, it's not fixed in Linux, yet.
:( :( :(
So, do you have any other external USB 3 drives laying around to test with?
It would be good to test if this is a problem with more than just the one external RAID box that you are using.
How long does this usually take to get the error and what kind of writes access does it take to cause it to fail .. I have 2 of those exact boards in production and a USB3 drive I can plug in and test. I would like to know if this is specific to individual drives or an overall USB3 problem as I recommend those boards to people now.
Johnny, check out this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096572 where comment #10 reports that someone upstream has been working on this bug and is thought to have a fix.
If that is in fact the cause of my problem, one could wish that it would eventually get backported into EL6 and ultimiately Centos....
