Same problem here using 16.04 / kernel 4.4.0-42-generic (i686) and external drive LaCie d2 Quadra, USB ID 059f:105e
I get random hangs under heavy traffic, during rsync from one external USB drive to another. rsync just hangs during a transfer. Sometimes it recovers after a number of seconds, sometimes it never does and hangs there, possibly for hours. dmesg contains then contains repeated error recovery sequences such as: [ 2350.056247] usb 1-4.4: cmd cmplt err -2 [ 2350.128049] usb 1-4.4: reset high-speed USB device number 12 using ehci-pci [ 2350.333548] scsi host8: uas_eh_bus_reset_handler success [ 2381.032039] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] tag#1 uas_eh_abort_handler 0 uas-tag 2 inflight: CMD [ 2381.032045] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] tag#1 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 95 5a 11 00 00 00 08 00 [ 2381.032049] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] tag#0 uas_eh_abort_handler 0 uas-tag 1 inflight: CMD [ 2381.032052] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] tag#0 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 [ 2381.032079] scsi host8: uas_eh_bus_reset_handler start Disabling uas worked the problem around. I still see some: usb 1-4.4: reset high-speed USB device number 14 using ehci-pci in dmesg but the disk recovers after the reset. Additionally, disabling uas allows me to see the external disk SMART data (including using Disks), something I couldn't do before and was sorely missing in these circumstances! The bottom line is that it seems under certain circumstances, uas is not able to recover from errors. -- 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/1584557 Title: Seagate external drive causes SCSI bus resets when UAS enabled Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Seagate STEA1000400 external USB hard disk (USB ID 0bc2:2322) causes continuous SCSI bus resets by default.
