Aura One: Input/Output error - Error communicating with device

I get the following error when I attempt to connect with my Kobo Aura One:

calibre, version 4.20.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[Errno 5] Input/output error: '/run/media/charlie/KOBOeReader/'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 90, in run
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 479, in _get_device_information
File "site-packages/calibre/devices/usbms/device.py", line 187, in free_space
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/run/media/charlie/KOBOeReader/'

I am running Calibre under Linux - OpenSuse 15.2 to be exact. The OS has no trouble mounting the Aura One and, despite the error, when I send a book to the device in Calibre, it is successfully sent to the device despite the fact that the device doesn't appear in Calibre. I'm not sure whether the problem occurred before or after a recent update from OpenSuse 15.1 to 15.2 or after a recent Calibre update. I've not had any problem with Calibre before this.

That's an error in the statvfs() system call. It typically indicates hardware errors on the device. You can try resetting it and/or using a different usb cable/port.

Thank you so much. I changed USB ports and the problem disappeared.
