Then the disks are inaccessible until I restart

Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english

There is some activity for the same/similar issue, please keep looking at the thread as well.

I have run the test one hour and I dont have had any problem

The problem occurs when I copy large files between hdd.
When writing in 1 disk i dont have problems

[odroid]

Try this workaround and let us know the result.

[GaLkI]

I try workaround but the problem persists

[odroid]

If your external USB 3.0 storage has a UAS compatibility issue with Linux, you have to disable it.
Please try "quirks" option to disable the UAS mode.

I think that always have usb-storage driver

Code: Select all

/:  Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/1p, 5000M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M
        |__ Port 1: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M
        |__ Port 3: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M
        |__ Port 4: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M
/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci-hcd/2p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M

¿is correct?

When I try to move small files it works but when I try to move large files or folders (in this case 66 gb) the system crashes

[odroid]

Right. You are not using the UAS driver.

BTW, are you running Kernel 4.9.170 or higher?

[GaLkI]

The kernel version is 4.9.180-30

[odroid]

Okay.

Please double check the reduced queue size again. Both values must be 32.

Code: Select all

cat /sys/class/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb 
cat /sys/class/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb 

Also it is very worth to clean the USB 3.0 host connectors just in case.

[GaLkI]

Sorry for the delay
The workaround changin max_sectors_kb value, makes the system more stable, but the problem persist

If you need more info or output command, you say me

[mad_ady]

You can reduce the number further until your system becomes stable.
