1 Hi,
2
3 Rates of the datatransfers to and from my IceBox external HD (USB to IDE) with Cypress Chipset
4 sometimes (relative often) breaks down to a view kBytes/sec.
5 Simultaneously, mousemovements (USB mouse/Logitech) also start to stutter. The only way out of
6 this scenario is a reboot. Unloading the according modules leads to
7 various unwanted sideeffects like total freezes and being unable to
8 reboot because the shutdown process is not able sync/unmount anymore.
9
10 At the time of buying the IcyBox this one was declared to be able to
11 work with Linux. Since then I had that problems...
12
13
14 My hardware:
15 IcyBox (USB->IDE, Cypress chipset)
16 Asus AV8 (Via Chipset)
17 Linux 2.6.27.10 (vanilla)
18 kernel config attached
19
20 Datatransfers via USB High speed to a for example 4GB UsbStick work
21 without problems.
22
23 Is there any way to circumvent these issues or anything known around
24 this?
25
26 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
27 Kind regards
