1 I've been having a strange issue with my USB flash drives.
2
3 I can't seem to copy much anything to them. It appears to copy and then
4 hangs, then I get:
5
6 [ 6841.490036] usb 2-6: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci
7 [ 6848.540029] usb 2-6: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci
8 [ 6855.590031] usb 2-6: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci
9 [ 6862.640026] usb 2-6: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci
10 [ 6869.690025] usb 2-6: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci
11 [ 6876.740023] usb 2-6: reset high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci-pci
12
13
14 dmesg is full of these messages.
15
16 Now, I haven't used any USB flash drives for quite some time (months.) I
17 know this used to work fine. For example, it took 20 minutes to copy
18 300MB of data and it was all corrupt.
19
20 I've tried different file systems, makes no difference. I also have a
21 lot of USB flash drives and I've used at least a half a dozen different
22 ones with the same results.
23
24 In early January I updated the kernel to gentoo-sources-3.17.7 (which is
25 my current running kernel.)
26
27 I've done some googling and while I did find some issues with 3.10.x
28 there's nothing recent.
29
30 Does anyone know if there was a USB regression or something with the
31 3.17 branch? In the last month I've used 3.12, 3.14, and 3,16 before the
32 switch to 3.17.
33
34 I also switched to systemd for 3.17, but I don't think that has anything
35 to do with the issue I have.
36
37 I'm going to try to update my kernel later on, I see that 3.17.8-r1 is
38 marked stable now.
