[ydl-gen] External USB Hard Drive

[peter.g.harper at magnox.co.uk]

I have got a couple of G5 Xserves running YDL 4.0 and I wish to transfer
some
data onto an External Iomega USB 2.0 Hard Drive.

Everything seems to work as it should. When I connect the drive
the kernel finds it and allocates the next scsi device to it and I can
then mount the FAT32 partition that is on there.

When I try to copy files to it everythings starts up OK and data is
transferred
at about 12M/s - until it crashes.

I've tried it a couple of times and it seems to happen after a random
amount
of data has been transferred and there are no messages in
/var/log/messages.

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Is there another file which may contain some helpful diagnostics?
