I was having trouble with a USB 3.0 Kingston DataTraveller drive on my MacBook Pro. I was willing to assume it was a dodgy USB C adaptor cable, so I plugged it into my FreeBSD tower, like a gentleman. I hadn’t seen dmesg output like this in a long time:

uhub_reattach_port: giving up port reset - device vanished
uhub_reattach_port: giving up port reset - device vanished
uhub_reattach_port: giving up port reset - device vanished
uhub_reattach_port: giving up port reset - device vanished
uhub_reattach_port: giving up port reset - device vanished

I had three other identical keys, so I tried another one:

ugen1.2: <Kingston DataTraveler 3.0> at usbus1
umass0 on uhub0
umass0: <Kingston DataTraveler 3.0, class 0/0, rev 3.10/0.01, addr 1> on usbus1
umass0:  SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0xc100
umass0:7:0: Attached to scbus7
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus7 target 0 lun 0
da0: <Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 > Removable Direct Access SPC-4 SCSI device
da0: Serial Number [blah]
da0: 400.000MB/s transfers
da0: 14755MB (30218842 512 byte sectors)
da0: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE>

And the other two worked the same. Plugged that first one back in, and the same reattach_port errors.

I’m amazed that for all the dozens – perhaps hundreds – of these I’ve had over the years, only one other key has failed this way when new. It’s impressive.
