https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219652 --- Comment #9 from Kris Karas (bugs-a21@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) --- Just saw Alan's comment #7 (posting race). FWIW, there are two drives showing this error. The first is a Toshiba DT01ACA300, and the second, a Seagate ST3000DM001. So it's rather unlikely to be a drive firmware bug. Given that this patch has been out since 6.9.1 (if I read git correctly), it's a bit odd that my searches for relevant/duplicate bug reports came up empty. Hardware bug with this particular USB/SATA bridge? I checked the manufacturer's website, and the model 1610 sports an embedded 8051 uP with downloadable firmware; however, there are no firmware resources on their website. I found one "smoking gun" in this report from site hddguru: https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?t=33369 It indicates that other initio USB-to-SATA adapters report sector_count-1 in some cases. If this is specific to Initio adapters, perhaps the easiest patch here is to assume that if read_capacity_10 is reported as 0xfffffffe, then it's buggy hardware, treat it as 0xffffffff and proceed thusly. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
