Hi.

When I connect my ext4 formatted Seagate 1.5 TB USB box,
I get the messages of the style:

[sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [sdb] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [sdb] Add. Sense: Logical block address out of range

By the way I am not getting such messages with 2.6.29.

Anyone knows what might be wrong?

Sounds like something's messing up with the disk size detection, as it gets detected as a 2TB drive. CCing linux-usb and linux-scsi.
