Description of problem: Appears that kernel randomly "lost" and disconnected USB devices, including USB hard drive, mouse and keyboard (through a HID connector): System appears to have recovered, but produced the following in /var/log/messages: Jan 27 16:46:37 localhost kernel: usb 1-6.1: USB disconnect, address 5 Jan 27 16:46:37 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 20072 Jan 27 16:46:37 localhost kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 Jan 27 16:46:37 localhost kernel: Aborting journal on device sdb1.

Something in your hardware is busted. Hard to tell what component exactly, I would work by graduate elimination starting with the enclosure. Don't forget cables.
Thanks. Wanted to log this in case there was some repeatable software issue. I'll leave it for a few days and then close.
Haven't seen this again. Closing....
