Re: [PATCH v2] USB: usb-storage: unusual_devs update for TrekStorDataStation maxi g.u external hard drive enclosure

From: Richard Schütz
Date: Fri Jan 07 2011 - 07:08:03 EST


The TrekStor DataStation maxi g.u external hard drive enclosure uses a
JMicron USB to SATA chip which needs the US_FL_IGNORE_RESIDUE flag to work
properly.
