One of the issues is of course, the machine is a production machine in a server room some miles from here (and many of the files it serves up are on the usb drive) When the USB drive goes down, I have to power cycle to bring everything back up again (Just a reboot and the usb is often still in a state where it won't work). So there is a little risk involved to debug this further. However if I get an opportunity to do it without disrupting services too much I will. Perhaps in the meantime someone else will come along who also has a related problem.
