Bug#755995: External USB HD problem in linux kernel 3.16 with usb-uas module
Package: linux-image-3.16-rc6-amd64
Version: 3.16~rc6-1~exp1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading linux to 3.16-rc6 I have problems with my Seagate expansion hard drive.
While mounting it or writing to it, my whole system quite often freezes and needs a hard reset.
It seems to be a known UAS (USB Attached SCSI) issue and there is a workaround, see
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183190
The mentioned workaround fixes the issue by telling the USB-UAS module to ignore the device.
To avoid this issue the UAS module should be patched to handle the hard disk correctly.
-- System Information:
Debian Release: jessie/sid
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Kernel: linux-image-3.16-rc6-amd64
Systemd, udev: 208-3
Kind regards,
Jos v.Wolput
