I still have problems getting external Seagate Freeagent (750GB) drives autoresume(?) correctly connected to USB. I did test with 2.6.21rc7, 2.6.18, 2.6.16 with various Intel/Nec/Via based controllers.
Seagate Pushbutton (750GB) drives work with 2.6.21rc7 (again), but the Seagate Freeagent drive (750GB) still fails and I have to "dd" some blocks in order to start the drive before accessing it again. Accessing the drive with ext3 while in standby results in the partition becoming read-only. I have no idea what chip set is used for the usb->SATA is used in the FreeAgent drives. To make it worse, the firewire and eSata drivers also have serious problems to autoresume. So none of the drives interfaces work with Linux. I'm willing to spend some time tracing/fixing the problem, but I'm a programmer and not a kernel guru ;-) Is somebody working on the problem already? Is there anything I can do to help trace/debug the problem in order to fix it? If not, any idea what/where I should start tracing/looking at in the kernel source code?
