Not access the last sector for example. The problems with most of the devices started when Linux added scans for md meta-data on the complete drive (not the partition). And md meta-data is at the end of the usable space. Actually somewhere in those many reports (can't remember which) there was a comment that those cases also start behaving badly when you really try to access the last sector from Windows. -- USB Hard Drive Not Accessible, vol_id hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
