Did you wait for thirty seconds after that final bulk input transfer started? It should have been aborted at that point, just like the two previous transfer attempts. There might be a bad sector on the disc you were trying to read; all three attempts seem to have failed at the same place. I get the impression that the SCSI error handler may have tried to reset the device without first aborting the current transfer. But it's not easy to tell if that's what really happened. You might be able to get more information by enabling CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG and rebuilding the usb-storage driver, or by turning on SCSI debugging. Alan Stern
