[Kernel-packages] [Bug 925760] Re: Constant warnings from the kernel: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
I have the same problem since I had my first Linux Mint 16 and now turned into Linux Mint 17 (Qiana - 32bit) the problem is still there (Ubuntu 14.04 i believe). Below, is my workaround which may benefit others too. I have experimented a bit with the User Interface, more specifically the Control Center - Disks (menu in the Mate). There, is a Power Off menu choice of the Realtek Mass Storage device (ie. by pci builtin Card reader, usually empty). And voila - the kernel messages stopped ! :-) It would be nice if one could power down specific ones, by will. I have found some solutions (not working for me) mostly like tweaking files in the Drivers settings (/sys/bus/usb/devices path). These were more or less Linux version dependent, and did not work for me. Instead, I carried on experimenting, and using the same Control Center - Disks I found a small button to edit Mount options which opened the dialog as I have attached a screenshot of. If I in there specifically said 'Automatic Mount Options' to OFF, then I permanently seems to avoid the kernel messaged flooding the system log. So I stay with this workaround, until further. ** Attachment added: Mate - Control Center - Disks - Mount Options https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/925760/+attachment/4261844/+files/Automatic%20Mount%20Options%20sdb.png -- 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/925760 Title: Constant warnings from the kernel: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Status in The Linux Kernel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “linux” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: I have this problem with this Laptop Acer 5735-4624, when I change to a TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F1..)

My Comment #84 was a wee bit to quick - sorry. I had wrong (interpreted) timestamps in the kernel log, so I saw log records seemingly from yesterday, but they are from today ! So I had to continue experimenting, and this command (which you could run for every boot) should detach the device, hence power it off and you avoid the flooding of messages: udisks --detach /dev/sdb where sdb is the device causing the messages: [Sat Nov 15 23:58:58 2014] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [Sat Nov 15 23:59:49 2014] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled [Sat Nov 15 23:59:49 2014] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed If you are unsure of which devices you have 'available' there's several tools available, but these seems to be informative: udisks --enumerate-device-files udisks --show-info /dev/your device, like sdb for me and also lsusb -v -- 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/925760 Title: Constant warnings from the kernel: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled Status in The Linux Kernel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “linux” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: I have this problem with this Laptop Acer 5735-4624, when I change to a TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F1..)
