Okay. I can not format my USB hdd because the kernel goes stupid in the
process. Here is my idea.
1. dd the partition to /tmp and format the image
2. dd the image back to the partition.
We'll that don't work.
After dd fails I do a dmesg and see this:
scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed
scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed
scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed
scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed
scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed
scsi1 (0:0): rejecting I/O to device being removed
I also see the read led on solid on the disk as if it is still writing
data. I also get about 18G of the partition before failure.
I also see this sometimes:
cfowler at linux:/> dmesg
SCSI error : <2 0 0 0> return code = 0x8000002
Current sde: sense key Hardware Error
Additional sense: Data phase error
end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 36778687
Buffer I/O error on device sde1, logical block 36778624
I also have tried other USB->IDE converters with the same effect. The
*only* solution I found and an unacceptable one is to remove 2.0 module
and write only at 1.1. Takes too long to complete.
Here is my installation.
SuSE 9.1
Linux linux 2.6.5-7.108-default #1 Wed Aug 25 13:34:40 UTC 2004 i686
