So we see usb-storage claim it, we see it attach at sdb, then it whines
about resetting port 1. What the heck is that? Then it can't enable
port 1, then a bunch of buffer I/O problems, then a bunch more crap and
finally, it can't read the partition table which doesn't surprise me as
these drives don't really have them by default right?
So now what??
