[Bug 1082215] Re: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption
I am one of the victims of the bug described above. In fact, my neigbour is the victim: Ubuntu destroyed her Windows partition. I was trying to help her. That is more than a reason to turn people away from Linux. But what is written here above is another reason. It is perfectly incomprehensible. For the sake of Ubuntu, may I once again recommend: - to add keywords of the bug description to indicate the affected versions (starting kernel X, fixed in Y) - to mark as important such things as data destruction, to tick "affects you" (and allow anyone to tick?) - in addition to "Bug description", to create a "Bug correction" in which any Ubuntu user can find in words he understands how to correct or circumvent his problem *in the system version he is using*. No "fixed", "patch released" or "upgrade" please. - in case the problem occurs with a particular hardware, to insistingly ask the manufacturers to indicate in their specifications "Supported OS: Linux kernel ≥ X or Ubuntu ≥ Y". It would have saved me days used to run tests, to find out the reason and the correction. And most of all, it would have saved my neighbour's disk !!! ** Summary changed: - Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption + (at least) USB id 14cd:6116 SATA Bridge M6116 chip causes HDD corruption -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082215 Title: (at least) USB id 14cd:6116 SATA Bridge M6116 chip causes HDD corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1082215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is fixed upstream in kernel 3.8.1 by the following patch: commit c8f96b36a83763b2cdedaec489eb39d3394a2366 Author: Josh Boyer Date: Thu Feb 14 09:39:09 2013 -0500 USB: usb-storage: unusual_devs update for Super TOP SATA bridge commit 18e03310b5caa6d11c1a8c61b982c37047693fba upstream. The current entry in unusual_cypress.h for the Super TOP SATA bridge devices seems to be causing corruption on newer revisions of this device. This has been reported in Arch Linux and Fedora. The original patch was tested on devices with bcdDevice of 1.60, whereas the newer devices report bcdDevice as 2.20. Limit the UNUSUAL_DEV entry to devices less than 2.20.

Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman This patch is also available in the upstream 3.0.67 kernel as commit cfb2ddcace95399e4dcefebb62e16cd93c9d4ae7 which should soon make it's way into Oneiric. It will hopefully also end up in the upstream 3.2.x kernel series soon so that it will make it's way into Precise.

maybe helpful quota from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1204327 Hello, If you are still interested, I may have found the cause of the HDD enclosure corrupting your drive. http://code.metager.de/source/history/linux/stable/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_cypress.h the patch submitted on 2010-10-19 causes problems with my enclosure, having the same id as yours. After removing that patch, my drive works as expected.I've already contacted the person who submitted the patch, and his bcdDevice number is 1.60, could you please check yours, so we can retarget the patch only to those actually affected.

[Bug 1082215] Re: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption
The following tar file (usb-debug.tgz) contains debugging obtained using the instructions in the link provided above. I used two USB enclosures with the SATA hard drive, one that works and the one that exhibits the bug. Testing was done with the last kernel installed (3.7.0-030700rc7). I zeroed a large chunk at the beginning of the drive with the good USB interface and collected the data from /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/1u for two runs: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb sb=64K count=1000 I verified after each run that the drive was indeed zero by running hexdump. I then repeated the same two dd tests with the bad USB (I zeroed the drive using the good interface in between). and also collected a hexdump of the drive (that shows the USBC headers that should not be there). The bus traces are named bus1data*.txt and are marked good and bad depending on which USB interface was used. I hope this will help. ** Attachment added: Contains USB trace data https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1082215/+attachment/3463830/+files/usb-debug.tgz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082215 Title: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1082215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1082215] Re: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption
The laptop on which I reported the bug is not one I can modify. Therefore I used a different one that is running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. First I verified that the problem I reported above can be recreated on this other system. I quickly managed to confirm that it can. I then installed the kernel you requested: [3.7.0-030700ec7-generic] and rebooted with it. The same problem was easy to recreate on this latest kernel as well.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1082215] Re: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption
As far as my tests went, it does not matter where in the drive I write to with dd - it gets corrupted. The example I gave was in order to simplify the description of what I was seeing. Originally, The drive had a formatted partition and when I moved it to this USB/SATA enclosure I began experiencing those corruption errors. In one of my tests I wrote zeroes to a file on that drive and when I looked into that file there were these USBC blocks inside it too. Of course after that the partition became so corrupt, I could not mount it any more... My suspicion is that these USBC blocks are actually part of the driver commands to the USB controller to write the data and for some reason they are actually getting written to the drive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082215 Title: Writing on a certain USB HDD causes corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1082215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
