Public bug reported:

Any USB3 connected hard drive may or may not function.  A drive may or
may not be seen as attached at boot time.  It may or may not be detected
by removing and reinserting the USB3 cable.  The behavior is very
inconsistent.

Example:

A 1TB Western Digital drive is correctly detected at boot.  The drive is
mounted and functions perfectly.  It is then unmounted and physically
disconnected from the USB3 cable.  An identical drive is then connected
to the same USB3 cable and powered up.  This drive is never detected.

appear in /var/log/messages.  Subsequent reboots of the machine detect
this drive approximately half of the time.  "rmmod xhci" takes a few
seconds.  "modprobe xhci" afterwards does not allow the machine to see
the external USB3 drive.

Please note that for the contents of this bug report submitted via
ubuntu-bug, I have already performed the rmmod/modprobe steps above.  It
does not appear that the modprobe step found the USB3 card again.  I'll
manually attach the results of "lspci -vnvn" to this report after
rebooting.

The USB card used here is a Vantec 2-Port SuperSPeed USB 3.0 PCI-e Host
Card.
