usb-storage bug

[Игорь Богогмазов]

While using usb HDD i've met a bug.

I mounted usb HDD (USB2.0 interface, but my motherboard supports USB1.0 only; does it has meaning?), "cd /mnt/usb && ls". All work properly. I can go through all HDD without any warning. Then i tried to write to this drive some files. A couple of files was copied, then i saw a strange messages 'bout I/O error on some blocks (does it occured while flushing buffers?), i've not copied. After a while i got the following:

I use ASP Linux distro (if it's important) and linux-2.6.9
Then current tty was busy, drive (with light HDD indicator) was busy, to kill process usb-storage is impossible (i used "kill PID" in another tty), when i tried to kill cp process it appeared again or did nothing at all (i tried about 10 times).
I probed kill or term all processes with SysRq magic key but in vain. Ctrl-Alt-Del showed me "Killing all processes" and nothing else. All what i was able to do is press reset key on a system box.
Then i tried to write to this drive files again but with a same result.

Please, what can i do for you are able to conceive this circumstance? To learn english better e.g. :)
Help me with using usb HDD please.

This should be fixed in 2.6.10-rc3.  If not, please let us know.
