I misunderstood your message. What got killed? The Centos freezed or the USB
disk died?

If the USB disk didn't die, would you like to try again and tell me what
says /var/log/messages ? Then I could compare with mine, and other people
here in the mailing list could help also.

There're (old) pendrivers that should be explicitly unmounted before
removing it from the USB hub. In Windows, this procedure is called "removing
the device safely". If you remove it without unmount before, it just dies.
