http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12099 is an example of needing to added the UNUSUAL_DEV entry to fix up the the returned capacity. However, the kernel is also still broken. Attempting to do I/O to an illegal offset should never result in an infinite loop of retries.
This in essence is the point. There are 2 bugs here. The infinite retry trying to read a non-existent sector is one. The other is to add all of the UNUSUAL_DEV entries for broken devices. Sadly, I think there are so many, the table size is going to dwarf the size of the driver code itself :-( -- USB Hard Drive Not Accessible, vol_id hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
