Regards OliverHi,I just completed a git bisect, and commit 8dfe4b14869fd185ca25ee88b02ada58a3005eaf was the commit that introduced this problem. This is "usb-storage: implement autosuspend". I don't think there have been many changes in drivers/usb since I last verified this problem, so I'm pretty sure this is still happening in the latest kernel.Please provide a dmesg log showing your problem with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG enabled.Alan Stern
You're right, it probably isn't the same error, unfortunately. I jumped to conclusions when I read Tino's description of the problem, "my external USB hard disk went mad", which is a very good description of what is happening to me. When any attempt is made to access the USB disk, it (logically) disconnects and reconnects. When using hald's automounting facilities, this leads to (endlessly repeated) madness.
I have attached my dmesg output (and a sanitized version that should contain all the important information, but is easier to read). It looks like the drive is auto suspended, but the resume process fails. Then the process is repeated.
[ 126.512815] usb 1-1: usb auto-resume [ 126.543447] uhci_hcd 0000:00:1f.2: port 1 portsc 00a5,01 [ 126.559426] usb 1-1: finish resume [ 126.561435] usb 1-1: gone after usb resume? status -19 [ 126.561445] usb 1-1: can't resume, status -19 [ 126.561451] hub 1-0:1.0: logical disconnect on port 1[ 126.562486] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK
Relevant info: -obviously, I'm using uhci -the drive is SATA, connected to USB with a SATA/IDE to USB adapter -this problem does not occur with a USB flash drive -reverting the commit that introduced auto-suspend prevents this error. Thanks, Dan
