Hi,
I'm having problems with a new 500 GB USB disk. It works, but
sometimes I get these in dmesg:
usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
usb 5-1: USB disconnect, address 2
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: removed
sd 0:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
: ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 254148215
sd 0:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Sense Key : 0x2 [current]

end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 252434023
EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_find_entry: reading directory
#15761836 offset 0
There's also a printer connected. This is on a pci/usb2 card. When
the above happens, I get I/O errors. When I mount the drive next,
there are errors and often missing files. Quite annoying!
Kernel is 2.6.21
What's going on?
You have a low voltage issue, or a bad cable. The device is
electronically disconnecting itself. Try using a externally-powered
hub, or a new cable.
I am seeing a similar problem with 2.6.22 and 2.6.23-* kernels with my
60G iPod Video, works fine with 2.6.18 kernel though.
So far I'm seeing this:
- On 2.6.21 I mount the drive. After a while it spins down, and when I
then unmount it, an error pops up in dmesg.
- On 2.6.18 I can't provoke the same error. The drive doesn't appear to
spin down. I don't know if the data corruption from 2.6.21 occurs with
regular use.
There are a number of other factor I need to eliminate on my system, but
that's it so far. CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is not set on either kernel.
OK, on a vanilla 2.6.18.8 I also have this problem, with both the pci/usb2
card, and the usb1 on the board. I listen to music from the drive, and
after some time (10-20 minutes or so), it freaks out:
=========
sd 1:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key=0x2
ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 126693711
sd 1:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key=0x2
ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 126693711
sd 1:0:0:0: Device not ready: <6>: Current: sense key=0x2
ASC=0x4 ASCQ=0x2
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 126693711
=========
Using a new PSU and a powered hub made no difference. But I found a solution
here:
http://alienghic.livejournal.com/382903.html
Basically, the problem is, as suspected, that the drive spins down / goes to
suspend. This can be disabled with "sdparm --clear STANDBY -6 /dev/sda".
It seems to me to be an error that the kernel reports this as something like
a hardware failure. Or at least very misleading.
Oh, nice. The usb-storage (SCSI) disk spins itself down and we can't handle that.
Should we be disabling auto-spindown when we connect the device, or be able to
handle this by sending the start command when needed?
There's more to this.
My Sandisk Cruzer Micro 1GB USB sticks suffer from this regression.
Plug one in, it works for about 5 seconds, then the light goes off (bad).
Next access requires a 30s timeout + reset. Etc..
This is with 2.6.23-rc6.
Works without any problems in 2.6.22. REGRESSION.
