Reset USB High Speed device during reading of the usb Stick

[stoosh]

when i read a big file (~1GB) from my USB Stick (Corsair Flash Voyager GT 2GB) the Bus resets the USB Device.

dmesg says:

the Problem doesn´t appear only with the Corsair Flash Voyager GT, also with my old Run Disk and another Stick. Maybe some trouble with my Mainboard?

I have the same problem, using a Freecom hdd enclosure with a Samsung 400gb hdd.
While watching DVDs or copying large files to it.
The drive is formatted with NTFS, I've mounted it with ntfs-3g in Feisty .

I have the same problem, tested with several external drives (including Western Digital external hard drive with a Reiser FS partition, NTFS partition, FAT32 partition and a Corsair Flash Voyager with a FAT32 partition) and occurred in Ubuntu 7.10, 7.04 and 6.10 (all versions I ever used)

This message repeats a couple of times while copying data to or from the external drive, once for every time the copying halts a few seconds.

Hy,
yesterday i found a solution for my similar problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/88746

there is a autosuspend problem with usb2.0 devices
this fixed my problem:

short:
1. Type the following in a terminal window:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/usb-core-options
2. Add the following line to the usb-core-options file:
options usbcore autosuspend=-1
3. Save your changes, and then type the following in a terminal window:
sudo update-initramfs -u
4. Shutdown and power on your computer. (Don't use the restart option)
