Description James 2016-02-16 20:15:15 UTC
Description of problem:
If I power certain external hard discs attached to a USB 3 port using

  udisksctl power-off -b <block device>

or via the GNOME Disks utility, the disc spins down and then immediately spins back up again and remounts. This does not happen when attached to a USB 2 port. To power a disc down gracefully I have to move ports.

This happens with enclosures using ASMT1153e, NS1066, ASMT1051 and AS2105 chipsets. Note that the AS2105 doesn't spin down at with either port, it just doesn't auto-reconnect on USB 2.

The enclosure with a JMS567 bridge does spin down properly on either port.

Verified on both Intel and Renesas host controllers. Doesn't matter if a VIA USB 3 hub is in the way.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.3.5-300.fc23.x86_64
udisks2-2.1.6-1.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always.

Actual results:
Disc spins back up.

Expected results:
Disc stays switched off regardless of chipset.
