Another test with Lucid Beta 2... I have migrated to the new firewire kernel stack and I have applied the above mentionned patch. In this case, I can use the firewire HDD. So here is the whole summary: 1. with Lucid Beta 2, firewire HDD is using the old kernel stack and is working out-of-the-box 2. if one wants to use the new stack, then one has to apply the above mention patch as well as following the Juju Migration Guide (http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration) -- Some firewire disks not working under 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548513 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
[Bug 548513] Re: Some firewire disks not working under 10.04
I had reported back in Bug #543488 that with Lucid, it was not possible to mount some firewire hard disks either with the old or new stack. I had made the test with Lucid Beta 1. Today, I'm updating the status with Lucid Beta 2: It is working out-of-the-box (without patch or other configuration), however Lucid Beta 2 is still using the old firewire stack by default. So I have tried to switch to the new kernel stack (just as i tried it on Karmic Bug #529524). However, this is still not working on Lucid Beta 2. See my report on the Bug #529524. N.B.: My firewire external HDD is a western digital MyBook with external power supply. I'm plugging it to a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 using a 6-pin to 4-pin firewire cable (the T500 has only a 4-pin plug). -- Some firewire disks not working under 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548513 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

Yes, this is probably an appropriate workaround (assuming it works, but it does look plausible) - but hdparm is (potentially) doing other things as well as enabling ATA passthrough, so I'd like to allow the active upstream discussion of this problem to proceed a bit longer before we slam a workaround into place.

[Bug 548513] Re: Some firewire disks not working under 10.04
I've found, what I think, is a good solution to the problem for now.
The hdparm udev rule that is launching hdparm. What hdparm is tyring to
do is enable ATA passthrough for drives that claim to support it (most
newer drives do). The problem is there doesn't seem to be proper kernel
support or many drives really don't support it.
What I have done is found a way to identify firewire & usb drives and
tell the udev rule to not try and run hdparm to activate ATA
passthrough.
So changing /lib/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm to:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="[sh]d[a-z]", \
ENV{ID_PATH}!="pci-*-ieee1394-*|pci-*-usb-*", \
RUN+="/lib/udev/hdparm"
* This fix does expose a separate issue in udev for firewire drives.
Udev tries to create a second symbolic link causing a kernel warning
from sysfs. The drive works though. Will get this 2nd issue resolved
also.
Also here is a clip from the udev db of how the drive is exposed in udev:

[Bug 548513] Re: Some firewire disks not working under 10.04
The issue here is the "hdparm" command is launched by udev. It then attempts to try to activate ata pass through. This then causes the drive to fail. bug 515023 But disabling hdparm from being lauched by udev gets around the issue. Then the drive works fine. I tested the latest hdparm (9.28) and still see it trying to do ata pass through. -- Some firewire disks not working under 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548513 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
