I noticed from the archlinux wiki of my laptop model (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sony_Vaio_Pro_SVP-1x21) that they suggest to use this option: - When booting from USB, append libata.force=noncq to the kernel parameters to avoid problems with the SSD. Well they say "when booting from USB" but I'll try "libata.force=noncq" anyway. We will see what happens. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
