Hi,
One of our users reported[0] that his 128MB mass storage driver doesn't
work anymore on our current stock kernel 2.6.25.20 by hotplugging but
works flawlessly if it was plugged before booting the OS. He also said
that it was working out of the box with our old kernel 2.6.18. I
gathered a lot of output and debugging stuff from the user[1][2] and
found out that the device has some problems with SCSI Inquiry commands
then I discovered the patch of Alan Stern about the bad residue
values[3], backported it and no way it didn't solve the problem.
I also suggested to give a try to the current stable 2.6.28 but the
behaviour is still the same.
When hotplugged, the kernel doesn't detect the partitions in the device
leaving the block device on its own but if it's plugged during the boot,
the partitions are correctly detected and have their own /sys/block
entries. Note that the device reports a "usb embedded hub" beside a mass
storage device (dunno if it's the case with all of these kind devices).

Please ask Antoon to collect a usbmon log during a hotplug test. The
instructions are in Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.

This shows the computer sending a TEST UNIT READY command to the drive,
and the drive reporting Unit Attention: Media not present. So of
course Linux believes there is no media loaded in the drive and doesn't
try to read the partition table or anything else.
Presumably if the drive is plugged in during bootup then the BIOS does
something to make this error status go away. It's hard to guess what
that would be, however.

It could be a matter of timing. Some badly designed USB devices have a
dead time between power-up and being ready, but show up on the bus as
if they where. The "Media not present" thing could be a symptom of this.
To verify it, try inserting the device slowly. The power contacts in
the USB connector are longer than the data contacts and the device gets
more time to boot.

Good point.

Another timing-sensitive values you can set is the delay_use module
parameter for usb-storage. It defaults to 5 seconds but perhaps you
need a longer delay.
