[lug] UAS and USB 3 Disks

[duboulder]

Before I get envious, I am just wondering if you know that you have the uas driver being used for your devices and how much data have you transferred at a time.

I see this in dmesg (first line for kernel boot, 2nd for device plugging):
[    6.528555] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas
[  809.894207] scsi host4: uas
