I have a Seagate FreeAgent Go external USB hard drive that was mounted but mysteriously decided to reconnect itself:

It changed from `sdb` to `sdc`, causing a number of problems for me. What can I do to further track down the cause?

I thought it might be [a problem with it sleeping](http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DealWithAutoSpinDownOnSeagateFreeAgent) but when I `cat /sys/class/scsi_disk/6\:0\:0\:0/allow_restart`, I see that it's already 1.
