Hi Penguins.
This is a story of a kind of silly.
I installed USB755FW, (pc-card - USB2 firewire). It works, with USB and firewire support kernel options on.
How nice to have fast external drive!!
Problem was, syslog flood with USB2. syslog size grows up rapidly, 7-8 digits within a while.
then uses up all free space. Content looks like this.
Code:

Nov 4 20:02:30 mypenguin kernel: usb-storage: queuecommand called
Problem was: kernel option, "USB Mass storage verbose debug"
USB1 was slow, so that my penguin did not suffer, (or I am not patient...)
Turn this option off and happy penguin!!
Happy Penguins!
