USB drive fails at sector 0xFFFFFFF

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I'm backing up to a NTFS partition on an external USB drive with dump. I'm seeing failures in /var/log/messages reading sector 0xFFFFFFF that cause the verify pass to fail. Are there any known problems in the USB driver?

Kernel via uname -a:

Linux segw2.mpa.lan 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jun 25 13:49:24 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Message reported. (Note the number 268435455, which is 0xFFFFFFF, and occurs every time I see this happen. But a subsequent attempt to read this region with dd succeeds, so it appears to be intermittent, or dependent on some other precondition.)
