I am encountering a persistent issue in the Fedora 41 Workstation where I am unable to access my 4TB HDD. This same 4TB HDD works perfectly fine in PopOS 24.04, in Fedora 40 live USB, and in my previous install of Fedora 40. When I try to mount the Btrfs partition on this drive, I get an “unable to read superblock” error. The F41 system is up to date. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. The command "sudo mount -t btrfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/test" results in "can't read superblock" error Actual Results: While using mounting this HDD with the command `sudo mount -t btrfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/test` it gives following error mount: /mnt/test: can't read superblock on /dev/sda1. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call smartctl: (sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda) output is as follows Smartctl open device: /dev/sda failed: INQUIRY failed parted: (sudo parted /dev/sda print) output is as follows Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/sda1: Input/output error gdisk: (sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda) error output is as follows Warning! Read error 5; strange behavior now likely! Expected Results: The command `sudo mount -t btrfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/test` should mount the drive smartctl: (sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda) output should be as follows (partial output) SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED SMART Error Log Version: 1 No Errors Logged SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Short offline Completed without error 00% 4211 - parted: (sudo parted /dev/sda print) output should show correct partition table. gdisk: (sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda) also should show correct partition table. After a long discussion on 'Ask Fedora' https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-41-unable-to-access-4tb-hdd-superblock-error-and-i-o-errors-did-bad-target/146651 the culprit seemed to be power profile management tool 'tuned'. Hence, I replaced it with “power-profiles-daemon”. The HDD works perfectly after this change. Let me know if you need any additional information.
