OS kernel and VxVM and VxFS kernel did not match.

Looking at the kernel log, it appears they were having some kind of hardware problem with either their usb hub or the ports on the hub. The pattern below repeats over and over in the log:

hub 4-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2 hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 6 usb 1-6.4: USB disconnect, address 111 usb 1-6: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 usb 1-6.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 112 usb 1-6.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
