Hi! I am trying to put data on an external Kingston XS-2000 4 TB SSD using self-compiled Linux 6.7.4 kernel and encrypted BCacheFS. I do not think BCacheFS has any part in the errors I see, but if you disagree feel free to CC the BCacheFS mailing list as you reply.
This is indeed a known bug with bcachefs on USB-connected devices. Apply the following commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commi t/fs/bcachefs?id=3e44f325f6f75078cdcd44cd337f517ba3650d05
This and some other commits are already scheduled for -stable.
Thanks!
Oh my. I was aware of some bug fixes coming for stable. I briefly looked through them, but now I did not make a connection.
I will wait for 6.7.5 and retry then I bet.
That doesn't look related - the device claims to not support flush or fua, and the bug resulted in us not sending flush/fua devices; the main thing people would see without that patch, on 6.8, would be an immediate -EOPNOTSUP on the first flush journal write.
He only got errors after an hour or so, or 10 minutes with UAS disabled; we send flushes once a second. Sounds like a screwy device.
