Strange behaviour of mounted USB hd

[StoneBeat]

My kernel is:
[root at laptop apoyo]# rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-doc-2.6.3-2.1.253
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253
kernel-source-2.6.3-2.1.253

--
Locate scsiglue.c it must be in :
[root at laptop apoyo]# locate scsiglue.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.3-2.1.253/drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c

edit the file and change:

 /* limit the total size of a transfer to 120 KB */
     .max_sectors =                  240,

To:

/* limit the total size of a transfer to 64 KB */
.max_sectors =                  128,

I don't remember who is the author of this patch
