Hi.

I have a laptop with a USB 3.0 port and an external drive with super-speed transfers - the speed is awesome :)

The problem is that even when I unplug my drive it remains in /dev (/dev/sdc, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdc2). It happens ONLY for the 3.0 port and ONLY with the 3.0 external drive (I've checked other combinations). Could this be an udev or kernel problem ?

The root hub:

It looks like a problem internal to kernel USB support - I don't think lsusb depends on udev or things like that to get a device listing - see if the device still shows up inside /proc/bus/usb/devices after removing. If it does, I think it has to be a kernel bug. Then you'd be down to generic 'try newer/older kernels' as the easiest first try at fixing it.

Other thoughts:

Check dmesg for any error messages that pop up after unplug.

Try the /sys/bus/usb/devices/(yourdevice)/remove control file - I believe you can "echo 1 > remove" to tell the kernel to shut down the device before you unplug it, maybe this will help? (cat "product" file in those directories to find which is the storage device)

A kernel bug it is.
