I just IPL'ed our server, issued sudo lsusb PRIOR to powering on the drive a couple of times, powered it on, and the USB drive attaches cleanly w/o errors that the cable might be bad or or or...

So on our server with IOGear USB HDD boxes, it is CRITICAL that lsusb be run PRIOR to attempting to attach... else you are just wasting your time. Again, per #19, "Ubuntu please fix it soon!!!"
