19:17:32 <blepe> any known issues with USB at the moment? I have a couple of external disks I use for backups which now both get faulted and taken out of service when I plug them in.
19:25:01 <richlowe_> not that I know of, though jclulow was fixing weird usb3 things.
19:25:42 <jclulow> blepe: What distribution are you running?
19:25:44 <jclulow> and version
19:32:32 <blepe> SunOS cube 5.11 omnios-r151042-73702cd512 i86pc i386 i86pc
19:32:56 <blepe> I wouldn't rule out a hardware fault. Just thought I'd ask before I started taking things apart
19:42:56 <jclulow> It could really be lots of different things.  Can you gist/pastebin some of the errors and log messages and tool output you're seeing?
19:49:39 <blepe> will do

20:52:16 <jimklimov> with external USB disks, can there be concern for power? do they accept (and have attached) additional power feeds, or only get juice over USB?
20:52:52 <jimklimov> I have an USB hub powered separately to drive the disks, some also powered others not
20:52:52 <jimklimov> sometimes the hub disables random ports because it is overwhelmed
20:53:03 <jimklimov> anything like this rings a bell?
21:37:53 <blepe> these are powered only over USB. They've both worked on that host for a long time
21:50:16 <jimklimov> things age, resistances increase :)
21:51:08 <jimklimov> FWIW if possible, might help to cross-check with another OS (livecd?) just to make sure it is more likely an illumos issue (PM?) than HW fault
