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. Mine is the following: $ lsusb -vd 14cd:6116 (...) idVendor 0x14cd Super Top idProduct 0x6116 M6116 SATA Bridge bcdDevice 2.20 Thanks for your help, -- 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
