Hi all,

for both kernels, 5.1.20 (working) and 5.2.8 (not working),
the content of /sys/dev/x:y/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb is 512
for USB storage devices (2.0 and 3.0).

This is for the PC showing the issue.

In an other PC, which does not show the issus at the moment,
the values are 120, for USB2.0, and 256, for USB3.0.

bye,
