I just connected this new drive now, and everything looks OK so far, however I've not tried to format yet.

Not sure if it's clear from these messages, but my system is an older one, with only USB2 ports. The drive is connected through an external USB hub.

Comment 2 Alejandro Ochoa 2011-10-08 22:35:14 UTC
I have a WD My Book Essential 2TB USB 3/2, and
Fedora 15 64 bit,

and this is what I get:
My computer has two USB3 ports, and the HD is not detected when I use those, but it works perfectly fine when I use my USB2 ports.

So that narrows down the problem a bit?

Comment 4 at-dot-at 2012-01-04 15:32:06 UTC
I'm getting this (apparently??) when trying to run preupgrade (14 -> 16) on a system with a 2.7 TB dmraid. No usb disks.

abrt thinks my bug is a duplicate of this but the failure is dm125 has no slaves.

I presume that bugzilla is discarding my abrt output when it matches this but no USB drives on system at present.
Below is some info, more if it might help. I will try to get the abrt-blah-blah.tgz if necessary. I have the preupgrade dmesg.

this is part of the FC14 fstab :

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2012-02-17 16:26:52 UTC
Joachim, is this still a problem in the 2.6.42 update ?
Could you attach the dmesg output from the kernel if so ?

thanks.

Comment 6 Joachim Metz 2012-02-17 20:25:08 UTC
For the FC15 machine I've switched to FC16 and different hardware by now; I'll give that a try.

I have this same issue (as of 3.3.0-8.fc16.x86_64), and this thread appears to be a fix (padding less than 12 byte commands up to 12, as I understand it):

That thread resulted in upstream commit 2f640bf4c94324aeaa1b6385c10aab8c5ad1e1cf which went into the 3.2 kernel release.  3.3.0-8 would already have that patch.
If you are really seeing the same problem, then it isn't solved by that commit.

Is anyone else seeing this with the 3.3 kernel still?

Comment 11 Joachim Metz 2012-06-09 17:40:19 UTC
Yes the issue is still there.

Hi,

I'm also experiencing this problem. This may be related to this one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728612

which looks like a kernel patch that solves the problem.

Can this patch be merged to the Linux kernel?

See comment #10.

Comment 15 Stephan 2012-10-07 09:10:49 UTC
I'm seeing this problem on
3.2.0
as well as on
3.4.9

If you take a look at 
http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/commit/?id=2f640bf4c94324aeaa1b6385c10aab8c5ad1e1cf 
you see that it removes just one cmd_len = 12 assignment. 
I'm seeing in the vanilla kernel source of 3.4.12 still one left over cmd_len = 12 assignment. I'm not sure whether this is the problem or not.

Comment 16 Stephan 2012-10-12 18:57:01 UTC
Ok maybe I'm seeing a common denominator here.

On this SATA <-> USB drive chassis

Bus 004 Device 009: ID 152d:2338 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge

it fails with

[  634.526988] sd 9:0:0:0: [sda]  Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK

On this one:

Bus 004 Device 010: ID 152d:2351 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. 

it works!! So I'd blame the USB<->SATA external drive chassis rather than the Linux kernel.

@Joachim: Can you verify that you have the same USB device by pasting a "lsusb" here?

Comment 17 Dave Jones 2012-10-23 15:36:58 UTC
# Mass update to all open bugs.

Kernel 3.6.2-1.fc16 has just been pushed to updates.
This update is a significant rebase from the previous version.

Please retest with this kernel, and let us know if your problem has been fixed.

In the event that you have upgraded to a newer release and the bug you reported
is still present, please change the version field to the newest release you have
encountered the issue with.  Before doing so, please ensure you are testing the
latest kernel update in that release and attach any new and relevant information
you may have gathered.

If you are not the original bug reporter and you still experience this bug,
please file a new report, as it is possible that you may be seeing a
different problem. 
(Please don't clone this bug, a fresh bug referencing this bug in the comment is sufficient).

Comment 18 Joachim Metz 2012-10-23 19:02:46 UTC
Still running FC16, no success with 3.6.2-1.fc16 either.

Comment 19 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 14:30:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 20 Joachim Metz 2013-01-17 08:35:58 UTC
Since it is unclear from previous comments if this bug should be cloned or not and since clone askes me for the classification again :( I'll just bump the fedora version on this bug.

Comment 21 Justin M. Forbes 2013-10-18 21:16:31 UTC
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 18 kernel bugs.

Fedora 18 has now been rebased to 3.11.4-101.fc18.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 19, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 19.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  

It has been over a month since we asked you to test the 3.11 kernel updates and let us know if your issue has been resolved or is still a problem. When this happened, the bug was set to needinfo.  Because the needinfo is still set, we assume either this is no longer a problem, or you cannot provide additional information to help us resolve the issue.  As a result we are closing with insufficient data. If this is still a problem, we apologize, feel free to reopen the bug and provide more information so that we can work towards a resolution

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 23 cheater00 2014-04-10 07:13:43 UTC
Hi,
it might help you to isolate this bug as I have been experiencing this issue in Ubuntu:

$ uname -a
Linux SX20S 3.11.2-031102-generic #201309262136 SMP Fri Sep 27 01:45:44 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l

Given Ubuntu's heritage who knows what patches are applied but it sure looks like an issue in upstream to me.

This issue is with a disk on an external hard disk drive connected via an USB3 chassis, the Icy Box IB-351 series. The disk is a WD Green Power and has not been giving me any issues on USB2 enclosures (also from Icy Box but obviously different chip so that doesn't matter).

In fact I have two IB-351 and if I connect both I can reproduce an issue with a disk on the second one dropping off. I haven't saved out the DMESG though, so I don't know if that was the same thing. Today however I have experienced another scenario. Left the computer on overnight and in the morning I have found the WLAN to be disconnected. No issue, sometimes this TL-WN722n just likes to freeze up, so I resetted it, but that didn't help this time. Two of those (one for receiving, one as AP) are plugged into an age-old USB2 hub over a fairly long extender cable into an USB3 hub which is next to my PC. I unplugged that hub and plugged in again and this seemed to have done the trick.

Checking the USB hard drive, I have found it to be completely frozen up. File operations just stall. Nautilus, as well as the Gnome2 (actually Mate) "places" shows those as still there. I've disconnected the hard disk drive half an hour ago and they're still there. So something weird is going on. My dmesg is currently spammed with:

Those appear fairly rapidly as you can see:
$ dmesg | grep 332100 | wc -l
141

Since the kernel is just a smidge older than what your auto-post asked for (3.11.2 rather than 3.11.4) and it's a different distribution I'm not sure if this provides the info you needed, but I thought I would describe what I've seen here anyways.

If you think what I'm experienced is related to what you've been experiencing, I could try to reproduce something like that on Fedora.

I believe the NEC hub is the USB3 ports on my laptop,

... here I tried disconnecting hubs to see which one is which, and my PC hung up. Luckily enough, Firefox saved this form. Yay for Firefox.

I've experienced this hanging-up previously, before I got the new HDD enclosure.

If you have any further questions or would like me to run some tests, let me know.
