The workaround from above kind of works as making a USB3 drive usable, but it's certainly not a solution, becase the reset still happen and the IO interrupted.
I listen to music with rhythmbox On Ubuntu 16.4.1. My FLAC collection in on an external USB3 disk. Every 9 minutes, there is a usb reset resulting in a pause in the music for 1 or 2 seconds. # grep reset syslog Dec 3 09:39:51 kodi kernel: [833306.998449] usb 2-3: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd Dec 3 09:48:25 kodi kernel: [833820.826351] usb 2-3: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd Dec 3 09:57:56 kodi kernel: [834391.952203] usb 2-3: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd Dec 3 10:36:53 kodi kernel: [836729.119419] usb 2-3: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd Dec 3 10:47:38 kodi kernel: [837374.645305] usb 2-3: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd # grep "usb 2-3" syslog Dec 3 09:39:51 kodi kernel: [833306.882385] usb 2-3: Disable of device-initiated U1 failed.
