USB system: FreeBSD 9-STABLE and 10-CURRENT do not recognize 64GB USB drive while Linux and Windows do

[O. Hartmann]

I have a USB drive/stick, Lexar USB Flash drive as reported by FreeBSD
shown below.
When first used, I was able to put approx. 30 GB of data on it - it was
visible to FreeBSD 9 and 10 as expected.
A Linux system at the lab was also capable of recognizing it. After
that, I tried to operate on the stick on a Notebook, FreeBSD 9, and
another station, FreeBSD 10. But FreeBSD didn't recognize the USB drive
anymore - sometimes, but this seems to be a gambling issue :-(

Trying Linux on different hardware platforms and even those machines
prior not recognizing the USB drive do recognize the drive as Lexar USB
Flash drive with 64GB. That is Suse Linux (some 12.XX), that is Ubuntu
12.04, that is Windows 7 Pro/x64. I can format the drive, I can push and
pull data from it.

So, since the USB drive won't work with three different FreeBSD boxes
(one running 9-STABLE, two 10-CURRENT, all systems most recent sources
and buildworld from a day ago).
I suspect either a weird configuration issue I use on all platforms in
questions in common triggering the weird beviour - or FreeBSD is simply
incapable of handling the 64GB drive. I do not have issues with USB
drives with capacities of 32, 8 or 4 GB of different brands.

As shown in the portion of the dmesg below, the USB drive is recognized
physically. It doesn't matter whether USB port I use (I tried all
available on all boxes and in most cases I use a Dell UltraSharp powered
in-screen HUB). Since other OSes handle the drive as expected, I exclude
hardware issues.

All FreeBSD in common is the fact I use the new device ahaci/device ata
CAM/ATA scheme with devcie scbus in the kernel (I use custom kernels!).

Apart from trying a GENERIC kernel (which is next I will do this
weekend), does anyone have similar experiences and probably solutions?
