Re: is scsi hot swap broken?

Jan de Groot — 2012-05-23T07:36:04



IDE mode isn't supposed to support hotswap. You'll need AHCI or RAID
mode for that. What driver is loaded for your SATA controller?

is scsi hot swap broken?

Sergey Manucharian — 2012-05-22T22:05:33

Hi folks,

Just noticed after the recent update to kernel 3.3.6, an attempt to remove a SATA HDD:

  # echo scsi remove-single-device 3 0 0 0  > /proc/scsi/scsi

takes very long time:

  $ dmesg

  sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Synchronizing SCSI cache
  sd 3:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 360s
  sd 3:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 360s
  sd 3:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 360s
  sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb]  Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x00
  sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Stopping disk

then adding an another HDD to ANY scsi channel does not work anymore. I've checked three differeent HDDs with the same result.

The controller is :

  $ lspci | grep SATA

  00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation N10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [IDE mode] (rev 01)


I used to use the hot swapping frequently before, never had such a problem.

Am I missing something?


Thanks for advices/ideas.

Sergey

Please report this upstream or to the AUR page, as it might be specific to
your kernel configuration.

If you can reproduce the problem with the kernel from testing, let us know.

Testing on Gen 1 i7 desktop - no problems at all so far.
Testing on Gen 2 i7 lenovo W520 laptop - a few hours of use (including
sleep / wake cycles) - all running smoothly. Bluetooth is fine. Have not
tested USB or sdcard (which has historically been a problem).

Thanks again!

Hello.

Everything is in the subject, adding that I'm using gnome and its record tool.

Got this in my .xsession-errors log file :

While we're at it, devs need to remember removing the post-install message of
extra/amd-ucode, since it's not valid any more.

Re: pm-suspend stuck at uhci_hcd

Manne Merak — 2012-05-21T20:41:03

Yes, removing the *_hcd modules leaves the resumed machine without 
working USB.
Trying then to unload the modules manually doesnt work, rmmod never 
comes back.  I see rmmod crash traces in syslog.

This definitely came with a kernel (module) update.  I will wait it out 
and see if it gets resolved at the next round of updates.

Small correction: kvm modules are not yet autoloaded. They will be in
3.5 though  [0] (and then most people can ditch MODULES I should think
:) ).

Re: [arch-dev-public] linux-3.4.0-1 enters [testing]

Tom Gundersen — 2012-05-21T15:02:23

The "microcode" module is now loaded automatically if your CPU
supports it. Before you had to do it manually, that's why you see this
error now.

I suppose the reason is that you don't have the amd-ucode package installed.


As far as I know you no longer need powernow-k8 or cpufreq_ondemand
any more, as they too are loaded automatically if your CPU supports
them.

< at >Tobias,Thomas: I guess we'll see these sorts of warnings a lot as
essentially everyone who does not have one of ucode-{intel,amd}
installed will get them. I suppose we COULD post a news item about the
change to module autoloading...

Cheers,

Tom

Basically, udev now autoloads the 'microcode' module for you and tries
to upgrade your CPU microcode (btw, it should also autoload powernow-k8
and kvm-amd now, so no need for them in MODULES any more!).

You could install the amd-ucode package to make this go away, ignore the
warning, or blacklist microcode via modprobe configuration files
('blacklist microcode').

Install amd-microcode, I think the microcode module is autoloaded as well
as all cpufreq and all other CPU related modules in this new release.
