[Bug 1802821] Re: Serious design flaw using large external drives.

2022-04-09 Thread Robert Pearson
I read that Paragon Software NTFS drivers will be part of the 3.5 kernel. I would like to use NTFS so that other computers can actually read my data. The current drives I'm using are 8 TB Seagate external drives with a 2 year warranty. Their price went up to $150 when on sale. I will probably get

I am a Linux newbie. How do I do what you asked? The question is moot for me. While waiting for more than a month for a response to my bug report, I have already found a workaround. I reformatted the drive from NTFS to ext4. This solved the problem for me but I lost the capability of a Windows

Please try kernel parameter "usb-storage.quirks=vid:pid:u", replace vid and pid to the USB device ids. This disables UAS mode, which makes the IO slower but possibly more reliable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

After a month of waiting for confirmation of the bug, I have reformatted the partition as ext4. If this works (can copy 1.5TB in less than 2 days) the bug is in the NTFS support in Ubuntu. If it doesn't, I will return the drive (Seagate says it is in warranty but refuses to provide any support to

The bug is in the upstream kernel and in Ubuntu MATE 18.10. Seagate refused to contact you to find out what the problem is. With no response from Ubuntu, I am returning the drive for a refund. Maybe some decade Ubuntu will support drives larger than 5TB (currently the largest from Seagate is

Am trying upstream kernel v4.20-rc4 (2e6e902d185027f8e3cb8b7305238f7e35d6a436). Not easy for a newbie because your link does not include the order in which the modules have to be installed. Downloaded the low-latency (whatever that means) packages and managed to boot the new kernel. It seems less

No! This problem did not start until after I had purchased the drive so any questions about behavior before I mounted the drive are not applicable. You ask me to "test the latest upstream kernel". I am a Linux newbie and do not know how to do this. I will follow your link to see how. If it

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.20
