USB TO IDE LINUX DRIVER

That linux usb site reckoned that genesys devices should be set to 64 (but notes that the Windows driver uses 128 successfully). I had a look at what the current max_sectors was set to

But maybe this newer enclosure and newer kernel might help. I vaguely remember trying this years ago but it didnвЂ™t seem to help. This last reference talks about reducing the max_sectors used when talking to a genesys device. I find some interesting stuff in ubuntu bug 61235 (which seems to have been around for several years), and also some notes on the linux usb site about genesys chipsets. So having nothing better to do I google for a bit to see what the current state of the linux world is with regard to these types of enclosures. It dies on its arse again with those вЂreset high speed USB вЂ¦вЂ™ errors. It is detected, I can fdisk it, I can create a filesystem on it, I can copy some small files to it, but can I copy a lot of large files to it: I plug an old 8GB ide drive into it, and plug it into my T42 running Debian Lenny on DebianвЂ™s kernel 2.6.26.

So this latest 3.5вЂі enclosure has been in the cupboard for a while and I swear to myself that it must stay there because it is evil, but hey its Easter, I have some free time, so I dig it out. Years pass and I foolishly buy another usb/ide enclosure thinking surely the days of the Genesys chipset are behind me but NO, my latest 3.5вЂі enclosure (which admitedly was very very cheap) also is based on the Genesys chipset. But I think maybe ther are some advancements in the newer linux kernels to get around this. Years later I buy another usb/ide enclosure that was cheap and sadly it too is a Genesys chipset. Years ago when I bought my first USB/IDE enclosure, I did some googling and discovered that вЂњYes, I am an idiot for buying an enclosure based on the Genesys chipsetвЂќ because basically they donвЂ™t work with linux. ItвЂ™s all very sad, and of course the drive enclosure is basically useless at this point. Start copying some larger files to the enclosure and after a minute or two, I hear lots of strange noises from the drive, and dmesg shows me lots of вЂreset high speed USB deviceвЂ¦вЂ™ type errors вЂ¦ and effectively the file copies stop until I basically pull the plug on the drive.And they have all ended up in the bottom of a box because basically they never worked reliably with linux.

I havenвЂ™t had a lot of luck using usb hard drive enclosures with Linux.
