Christopher, I will do that.
I also wanted to note that I originally reported this as only occurring on certain systems with AMD processors and nVidia chipsets. However, in the meantime this has been duplicated on other hardware configurations as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1456837 Title: USB drive errors with kernel version 3.13.0-35 and above Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I am seeing various USB drive errors while trying to use the drives. For instance, I am unable to successfully create a new file system on the drives. One example is parted which returns the following error: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/sdc: Remote I/O error dmesg shows the following error in this case: end_request: critical target error, dev sdc, sector 0 The errors appear with different brands and types of USB drives. I have tested the drives on other systems and they are okay. Earlier versions of Ubuntu (prior to 14.04) do not show these errors. I am running the i386 version. I have tried different versions of the kernel. It seems to have appeared in the 3.13.0-35 kernel. I do not see it while using the 3.13.0-34 kernel, but see it in newer kernels. It is present in both the generic and low latency versions of the kernel. I have tried the Utopic kernels 3.16.0.37.29 with the same results. I have also tried the upstream kernels 4.0.3-040003, and 4.1.0-040100rc3 and still see the problem. I have multiple systems, and am only seeing this on systems with AMD processors and certain nVidia chipsets, for instance GeForce 6100 Northbridge/nForce 410 Southbridge.
