Comment 27 for bug 61235

Same here.

I'm running a vmware-player session from a Iomega USB Harddisk.

Upon connect:

[ 2475.208541] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 37

After copying a big file (max 10secs after start of copy-job):

[ 2595.675860] scsi 6:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device

Setting max_sectors to 128 doesn't work for me either.
