Description

This is for 2.2-RELEASE. I have a 2.5" drive in an external USB
enclosure with one big Hammer filesystem on it. The disk is ~75GB.
When the daily cronjob to cleanup hammer runs it fails with these
errors:

Thanks,
Joe

I'm not sure what's going on here.  HAMMER does issue a synchronize cache
op but it should be ignoring the error. Maybe the recovery from the
unsupported synchronize cache op is causing a later write op to fail.

I updated to 2.3-DEVELOPMENT and now the machine hangs at this point.
I get nothing on the serial console. No network connectivity. No
core dump either. I can give you access to the machine or provide any
information you may need.

I also tried adding a quirk to scsi_da.c for my device but still get
the hang.

I can't rule out flaky hardware at this point either.

I think there are devices that claim to support this operation but in
reality do not support it. Or something like this. FreeBSD has a quirk file
for this. For example my Seagate USB disk always prints those synchronize
cache failure messages on FreeBSD. Look out for NO_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
in this file:

I tried adding the NO_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE quirk but got the same
results.

Hi Joe,

Is it possible to test this again? And maybe against the new usb stack?

Thanks,

Moving to unverifiable. We need that specific hardware to test it. Feel free to update the ticket if any relevant testing is performed on current releases.
