Fedora :: USB3.0 Drive Slow On USB2 Port?
Apr 8, 2011
I bought a Thoshiba StorE art 3 1TB external hard drive yesterday and I had to clear off a lot of data from my vaio to the ext drive. But I am facing an acute problem in the data transfer and write speed. The drive is USB 3.0 and my usb ports are
Code:
lspci|grep -i usb
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
I am running on fedora 13 with
Code:
uname -r
2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64
When I try to transfer a big chunk file, the speed I get is 1.7MB/s. I have tried in my other boot windows and had 56MB/s
The second doubt is, I have formatted the whole disk as a single partition of 930GB(NTFS). Do I have to partition into smaller parts for efficiency ?

I have Debian Jessie (testing) with a custom kernel 3.15.7 installed on an Acer Aspire V5-123 netbook which has 2 USB2, and 1 USB3 ports. The problem is that my A4 tech usb mouse is only detected when I connect it to the USB3 port!
Here is the dmesg output after I plug the mouse to the USB3 port:
Code: Select all[ 844.152073] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=09da, idProduct=000a
[ 844.152089] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 844.152098] usb 1-1: Product: USB Mouse
[ 844.152106] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: A4Tech
[Code] ....
and the lsusb output:
Code: Select allBus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f2:b3f6 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
But, if I plug the mouse to one of my USB2 ports, I get the following output from lsusb regardless of having or not having my mouse connected:
Code: Select allBus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
And finally, the modules loaded:
Code: Select alllsmod | grep usb
usbhid 44476 0
hid 98196 2 hid_a4tech,usbhid
usbcore 162472 5 uvcvideo,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,xhci_hcd
usb_common 12440 1 usbcore
Apparently, people have had similar problems in Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, ..., but, I did not find a unique fix.

I have a clevo w230ss laptop which has debian testing on it
Code: Select alluname -a
Linux linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.2.6-1 (2015-11-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux
It also has 1 usb 2.0 port and 3 usb 3.0 ports which all work, but give me max speeds of 1.2mbp/s with usb 3.0 when transferring files.
I have also an external usb 3.0 hard drive. Before i switched to debian i was using xubuntu and when i was transferring a 4gb file to the external drive via usb 3.0, this took at most 2 minutes, now in debian it takes about an hour.

Ubuntu 10.10, 32 bit.I've got a 2TB WD external disk which has USB 3.0, and I have a USB 3.0 PCIe card.Plugging the drive into the card has no effect at all. The drive powers itself up, but the kernel log is silent. A USB 2.0 flash disk works properly with the card, and the WD disk works properly plugged into a USB 2.0 port, but the combination of the 3.0 disk and the 3.0 card is completely nonfunctional, even when using a small extension cable to cut off the superspeed connection.
Searching suggested that this is because of a bug which would prevent superspeed from working, but should -not- cause complete failure (highspeed fallback should be OK). I tried the suggested fix for this anyway, which was to install kernel 2.6.37-020637rc1 (was 2.6.35-24-generic). This did not help my problem nor did it correct that endpoint error message.

iomega prestige 1TB fails to mount on Fedora 15 32 bits. that machine has a USB2 port. /var/log/messages reports this in a loop:
[Code].....
on my Fedora 15 64 bit laptop, it crashes the whole box. (I'll post later the /var/log/messages extract). That machine has a usb 3 port. I'm most interested in making it work under Fedora 15 32 bit, but the crash under 64 bit may give other insight

I have a digital camcorder (panasonic NV-GS33) and would like to get the video's to my Hd for editing etc,etc. From what i can see, linux only supports ieee1394. But, as with most google searches and linux you only ever seem to see the problem stories so thought id ask here to see how i could transfer via the usb2 port or weather its even possible?

I have 8 x USB2 ports on my computer. I know this from personal experience, Windows write speeds, and the spec sheet for my motherboard. I get USB2 write speeds in windows, however when in F14 I get an average of 1.5mb/s, which is USB1.1 speed. When I run lsusb it shows 2 x USB 2.0 and 6 x USB 1.1. /proc/bus/usb/devices shows 2 ports using ehci_hcd (480speed), and 6 using uhci_hcd (12speed).
modprobe -r ehci_hcd (or uhci_hcd) fails with "FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin"
rmmod ehci_hcd (or uhci_hcd) fails with "ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules"
1) Why are 6 ports being identified as USB 1.1
2) How to I get them to use ehci_hcd and return to USB2.0 speeds?

I want to do a simple port redirect, i.e. whatever comes trough whatever interface on port AAAA will get redirected to port BBBBI thought that iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --source 0/0 --destination 0/0 -p tcp --dport AAAA -j REDIRECT --to-ports BBBBhowever it doesn't work, e.g. nc -v -w2 -z localhost AAAA gives:

What file system should I use to partition a slow and old hard drive? I know that ext2 was best for old computers which mine is not but I am using an old hard drive for extra storage and I was curious if anyone knew if using ext2 or ext4 would show any performance differences.

I'm running a dual partitioned (Vista / Fedora 11 x86_64) Intel X25-M Mainstream SSD.
Whilst Vista boots in about 15 seconds, Fedora takes around twice as long; in fact far longer than Fedora 9 on my old Western Digital Raptor drive.
Is this to be expected, or might I have some sort of configuration problem? Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I have installed Centos 5.4 with Sendmail 8.13.8, i have modified sendmail.mc file and compiled to sendmail.cf with following lines
1. TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')
2. Define define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
3. DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl
My problem is that when i try to open port 25 with telenet it takes lot of time like more than 1 minute to open session and another 30 - 40 seconds to respond to "ehlo" command.
Also when i try to open telnet session on port 25 in another server it hardly takes 1-2 seconds open session.

I just bought a dual USB2/USB3 external disk for backup purposes on my Ubuntu server box, running 8.0.4 LTS. For various reasons I can't upgrade to the newest LTS yet and I was wondering if there were any plans for USB3 support on Ubuntu Server 8.0.4?

Recently my Ubuntu 10.04 was booting slow and to figure out what was going wrong, I booted Ubuntu in text mode. There I found it was hanging on for 5-6 sec showing "unable to enumerate usb device to Port 1". I know it has something to do with Port1 / usb device, but could not understand and solve it.

I'm struggling to know where to look for a problem. A newly upgraded machine uses the following main parts:
Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 motherboard
AMD Phenom II X2 560 processor
4GB Crucial high speed memory
Onyx OCZ 32 GB SSD
Every attempt at installing Ubuntu 10.10 fails with a message about copying from the CD to the disk. The CD has been burned again, and can be run as a live CD on a different machine. The motherboard has had the BIOS upgraded to the latest version. Swapping the Onyx OCZ SSD for a Seagate Barracuda 320 GB (taken from a working system) fails in the same way, although it takes a little longer.
A basic install of Windows XP worked, apparently without problem. Running the Ubuntu 10.10 live CD does not work properly - attempting to start Firefox causes a message to appear in the bottom bar saying it is starting, but it disappears again without Firefox actually starting. (Works OK with the same CD on an older machine).

I've been using a 2GB flash drive with Ubuntu on it for the last few weeks, instead of a full install as my main laptop is down with hardware failure. I'm finding that it works so well, that I'm tempted to go this way permanently. I really like having the same setup on whatever machine I happen to be using. Anyway, If I was to do this I'd need a drive with more space and I've come across portable SSD drives that support connections over both USB & E-Sata.
If I had Ubuntu installed on such a drive would it be able to boot over both kinds of connections or would I be limited to whatever connection I did the install over? My work laptop supports e-sata, so I'd like to use that mainly but I would like to be able to use USB when e-sata isn't available.

I'm done following this guide about Kernel Building. [URL] .... and I got done successfully, the .config file was the very default obtained from "make menuconfig" the only extra thing added was:
Code: Select allCONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD_ORION=y
All dependencies had to be installed about 2GBs for kernel building to function properly, mainly due to the needing of kernel headers. It loads successfully on my desktop whether or not it needs that module (if it was added correctly) but my goal was to add xhci support so it will load from my laptop, still won't load from the laptop giving me a initramfs prompt. Adding that code line to the .config file didn't seem to do what I wanted.
Although since I did a "make-kpkg clean" command as requested by the manual I dont know if it used that line or not to be honest. since I think it deleted the .config file in its efforts to clean old configs so I don't know I'm new to kernel building.

My usb stick with Debian only loads from the usb hub it's crazy. I just tried putting the usb stick onto a usb3 port in my desktop and also on a usb2 port even the one where the usb hub is connected to and it wont' load!. Same initramfs prompt happens as when connected on the laptop usb ports.
the usb hub has usb2 speeds so is not that the stick is under usb1.1 emulation.

i am running ncat (netcat's new version from nmap) on centos . I am listening on different ports. My question is , is it possible that when a connection is received on a port say 123, i redirect this connection to a different port and use the 123 port again for listening connections. ncat has an option -k which u can add with -l , it will force fully listen on the port. It can accept multiple connections on a single port but i want that once a client connects on to 123 port, he is forwarded to some other port and no longer on 123.

I have a desktop system (P55-USB3 + Core i7 + Ubuntu 10.10) that fails to suspend/resume from memory. So I'm trying to diagnose the problem. The first obstacle was easy enough --- when I put the system to sleep to memory, the computer comes back alive right away. A look at /var/log/kern.log revealed that one USB device (usb10) failed to suspend, and from there I was able to pin it down to the USB3 controller in the BIOS. Disabled that and this problem disappeared.
Now, I'm stuck with the second obstacle. The computer successfully goes into the suspend mode, but it hangs during resume. The monitor doesn't get any video signal, and it fails to respond to ping (netconsole doesn't work either.) After a forced reboot (that involves unplugging the power cable), /var/log/kern.log doesn't contain any interesting entries. All the pm_test modes from freezer to core succeed (I followed [URL] I've also tried pm_trace (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend) but again kern.log nor dmesg contains anything after the suspend. Either the write didn't survive the forced power off, or the resume is failing even before that. The motherboard doesn't have a serial port nor firewire, so getting kernel logs through them is not a possibility, either.

I'm running Debian 8.2 and trying to set up so I can plug in a couple of external hard drives that will be used to sync data between systems using rsync.
I've got the rsync bit working how I want, thats not a issue. But what I can't seem to get to work properly is when I plug the devices in, they don't mount automatically.
I've tried various methods to no avail so far, systemd.automount in fstab doesn't seem to want to work, for some reason it gives a I/O error. I've tried setting up udev rules and they don't work either, so I'm a bit of a loss now.
Not sure what info to provide that would be relevant at this time, but can add logs as required easy enough.
This machine is headless, so command line only suggestions would be best. I can access X via the network if I have to, but I'd rather do it by cli for ease of access.
My fstab file
Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=9b4e9dae-ea53-439a-a7fe-87c371c03803 / xfs defaults 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda9 during installation

I plan to reformat & reinstall my linux (centos).Before doing this, I got to backup my files into my USB external hard disk from Seagate (FreeAgent). The problem I faced is that I could not copy file into the hard disk even I was in root user. It prompted me that it is only read-only. I just wonder why.I have tested with my thumb drive. It worked. May I know why I could not copy file to the USB FreeAgent hard disk. Due to file system?

I'm getting failures of ehci_hcd at random times when trying to copy files between USB2 hard disks on my new installation of OpenSUSE 11.4 on my new i7 machine. Kernel version is 2.6.37-0.5-desktop, x86_64. The error is very repeatable but happens at random times, not associated with any particular disk sector or file etc.It's becoming very annoying as it is causing files on my drives to become corrupted if they are open when the error occurs.
I have two USB2 hard drives plugged in, and I'm trying to copy files from one to the other either via terminal or nautilus. The symptom of the failure is that all USB devices on the root hub of those drives will suddenly disappear in the middle of a file transfer. This includes the KB & mouse , so I lose every USB device on the same root hub at once.
If the keyboard is on a separate root hub I can retain control of the PC. In this case, lsusb shows that the root hub to which the drives were connected has vanished - not just the drive itself. The whole root hub is gone. I have confirmed that it is NOT a problem with the drives themselves, because
(a) I have tried many different drives, of different brands, and they all do it,
(b) all my drives work flawlessly under Windows 7 and
(c) this never happened under my old OpenSUSE 11.2 on my old x86_64 core2 duo PC with the same hard drives.
They are all NTFS formatted and I use NTFS-3g to write to them. I don't have a choice about the NTFS, since they bring data from other Windows PCs. I'd much prefer to be on ext3, but what can you do. The root cause of the problem is that the ehci_hcd module is failing at a low level. It's not the NTFS-3g driver, by the looks of things. I have no idea how to fix this. I don't think it's a problem with my USB2 drives going to sleep mode because it happens in the middle of a file copy operation!
/var/log/messages output follows... /var/log/messages shows these kinds of errors at the leadup to a failure. Nothing suspicious appears until we suddenly see this:
kernel: [ 505.042722] hub 1-1:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
... same message repeated 4 times ...
kernel: [ 509.075401] hub 1-1:1.0: Cannot enable port 3. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
kernel: [ 509.083593] hub 1-1:1.0 cannot disable port 3 (err = -110)
[code].....
NTFS-3g then unmounts ALL the drives on that root hub and everything falls in a heap as all I/O operations and every device on that hub fails in sequence.

I have windows on my internal drive on a dell D 800. I removed the drive and installed 9.10 on an external drive through the USB port. It works great, until I put the internal drive back in. With the F12 button on startup, and choosing the USB device to boot from, I get a grub recover>. If I remove the internal drive it boots fine with this method. I don't want to have to remove the HD each time. Do you have any idea what to do? Is there a command I can enter at the grub recover prompt?
