misc@ seems like a bit of a scary place!!
I think I will lurk/ search around there for a while first.
Even just with some light googling, I found these two posts which may somehow be related. Or not..

One other thing I might try is simply to try to move this ntfs volume to a more 'even ' block than 63.
In either case, if it's something in such core layers as the sd- umass- uhub- scsibus- level and how that interacts with this particular external usb cabinet... well, then it's something I could never dream of fixing myself anyway.
Thank you for your help!
