I tried the Fedora fix and tested it. All works now. I can create partitions, format and move files from and to the drive without any data corruption. The solution applied at drivers/usb/storage/unusual_cypress.h -UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x14cd, 0x6116, 0x0000, 0x9999, +UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x14cd, 0x6116, 0x0000, 0x0219, "Super Top", "USB 2.0 SATA BRIDGE", USB_SC_CYP_ATACB, USB_PR_DEVICE, NULL, 0), I hope this will help. This bug has been fix in Fedora with the last update I made. The Gentoo Kernel 3.7.9 still has this bug. What can be done to speed things up? This bug corrupts the partition table and file system. I think it is grave problem. This issue is misassigned and not a security issue. If you backups getting wiped out, than that is a security issue. What would be the proper assigned for this issue? (In reply to comment #4) > If you backups getting wiped out, than that is a security issue. What would > be the proper assigned for this issue? No, that's a data integrity issue. It's like the difference between safety and security. Thanks Jeroen, I understand the separation you like to express. How would be the proper way of reporting this data safety issue? As far as I can tell it is a kernel issue and a simply one to resolve. I'll look into this patch with future releases / revision bumps. The best place to report this would be at LKML or the Kernel Bugzilla, that way it gets merged upstream (if an acceptable patch) such that everyone can benefit. Has this ever been reported upstream at the Linux Kernel? This patch has been in the upstream mainline kernel since v3.9-rc1. If you don't see this patch on earlier (not EOL'd) kernels and need to have it backported, please comment back here. |
