Comment 38 for bug 1366538

To verify if quirks parameter is in place inspect `dmesg` _after_ plugging in the device.
You should have a line indicating "quirks match" for your device - e.g. (in my case)

[ 2266.284812] usb-storage 8-4:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[ 2266.284979] usb-storage 8-4:1.0: Quirks match for vid 059f pid 0651: 800200

If not check if the module was loaded with quirks parameter by
`cat /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/quirks`

You may need to update initramfs if the device is plugged in while booting.
