So how do you know that you "no longer" can use USB sticks if you did not find a kernel where it worked? It's either one or the other. > > >From the middle of the log (after the partition table has been read): > > > > > [ 32.056855] usb-storage: queuecommand called > > > [ 32.056886] usb-storage: *** thread awakened. > > > [ 32.056888] usb-storage: Command START_STOP (6 bytes) Middle huh. I _really_ wish people stopped editing their logs. How am I supposed to determine if this was sent immediately after open (e.g. your HAL is screwing with you), or it happened after a time of inactivity? In the latter case you might try to comment out sdev->allow_restart = 1 from scsiglue.c. It was added there for a specific reason: Seagate FreeAgent. We can easily make it specific for Seagate, *IF* commenting it helps. In the former case, well, complain to distro. > The other one is "why isn't the USB stack filtering that command when > it comes down from SCSI?" GOD, NO. We went down that road before. -- Pete P.S. If userland were sending these commands, ub would fail too. So it's not a heaven from this problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
