It seems only SCSI-USB drives fails. I tried to use external usb (ATAPI)
CD/DVD-Drive, and it works without mounting errors on 8.0- and 7.3-RELEASE
, I had read errors only with virtual USB drives.
kernel messages (maybe it helps) - mounting External drive:
kernel: umass4: <USB2.0 External Mass Storage Device,
class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.58, addr 3> on usbus4
kernel: umass4: 8070i (ATAPI) over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000
kernel: umass4:4:4:-1: Attached to scbus4
mounting Virtual drive:
kernel: umass3: <Intel(R) Multidevice, class 0/0, rev
2.00/0.01, addr 2> on usbus4
kernel: umass3: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000
umass3:3:3:-1: Attached to scbus3
