An *addition* to the workaround suggested by the original poster, for my use case I disabled the autosuspend feature (that causes the reset according to the logs). This seems to work fine around the problem:
# echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend With this option, I don't longer have the sound interruptions when playing music from the disk. The modules options for the workaround looks like this: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/usb3-disk-bug.conf # Get uids from lsusb -b => Id Vendor:Id Product:u # update-initramfs -u options usb-storage quirks=0x0bc2:0xab20:u options usbcore autosuspend=-1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584557 Title: Seagate external drive causes SCSI bus resets when UAS enabled Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Seagate STEA1000400 external USB hard disk (USB ID 0bc2:2322) causes continuous SCSI bus resets by default. As a workaround, disabling UAS causes the device to work fine.
