2.4.21: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured?
Hi folks,
This morning I tried to attach an 2.5" HD via USB2.0 to my Linux box. I got a message
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
in kern.log, followed by billions of IO errors during mkfs.
Well, I need a mass storage whose integrity _is_ assured. Is there any hope that ehci and usb-storage get improved for a 2.4.x kernel? Any patches I could try?
Regards
Harri
That warning means that if you yank the device at a bad time, you could get screwed.

And IDE will be assured under similar actions? And SCSI? And any removable media yanked without unmounting?
Either the message is useless or there is a real higer risk with USB that with other buses - and I would like to know what it is too.

I found Greg's patches. Much better now.
