jgimi, with all respect, but I am not paid for debugging.

I have had the very same problem with three different BSDs: OpenBSD, FreeBSD and PCBSD. Each one sooner or later froze when unplugging a USB-device. Some did not for hours, sometimes a device did not freeze it at all. Yet, I have tried various machines with various usb-devices with various cables and various locations. The only thing they had in common: BSDl. Conclusion: If I have a critical task with USB => NO BSD.

I have more than ten years of systemadministration in my fingertips, and almost 8 with BSDs, as well as Sun, SGI etc. I doubt I'll need some funny lesson telling me where to find hardware errata or commercial support. If you don't have any other assistance to offer: Thank you and have a nice day.

The question remains, does anyone have experience with ESATA and is it stable with OpenBSD. Because until gettin paid for spending a week or two trying and testing if it works: No way.
