Public bug reported: Dealing with an occurence of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93581 on linux 4.2.0-18-generic from the linux-lts-wily package.
I am currently testing the fix from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mkp/linux.git/commit/?h=bugzilla-93581&id=7c4fbd50bfece00abf529bc96ac989dd2bb83ca4 This will trigger drive failures requiring a hard powercycle on any kernel that has the aforementioned bug relating to failing to clamp transfer limits to device imposed limits as well as controller imposed limits. To reproduce: install a Seagate Archive 8TB (v2) hard drive, attempt bulk data writes. I can reproduce with a seagate Model=ST8000AS0002-1NA17Z on the AR15 firmware. Apparently this can also happen on older firmware revs of this drive. ** Affects: linux-lts-wily (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1521782 Title: 3.17..3.19 all fail with new Seagate Archive 8TB S-ATA disk (NCQ timeouts) (also fails on lts-wily-4.2.0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-wily/+bug/1521782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
