EXT4 partition gets disconnected while using rtorrent

Hello, I have an external USB HDD that I recently formatted to EXT4. this HDD is connected via a powered hub and previously had a NTFS file system. I'm using rtorrent to download on this hdd and (after I did the switch to ext4) quite often the HDD gets disconnected (hence rtorrent crashes) and I have to remount it.

I know that there were/are several USB related issues, but i wonder why this did not manifest when I was using NTFS and if the USB issues are indeed linked to this behavior.


pi@raspberrypi /media/LG_EXT_HDD/torrent $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

Although it not always clear from the order of the messages, the fundamental issue here is a USB problem that makes the drive disconnect and reconnect with a new device number:

[353674.442864] usb 1-1.2.3: USB disconnect, device number 6
[353674.804693] usb 1-1.2.3: new high-speed USB device number 7 using dwc_otg
[354488.454438] usb 1-1.2.3: USB disconnect, device number 7
[354488.797635] usb 1-1.2.3: new high-speed USB device number 8 using dwc_otg

Each time this happens, the corresponding sdX device stops working and a new one is created:

[353674.395707] sd 0:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
[353674.395875] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled error code
[353676.060620] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
[354488.398835] sd 1:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
[354488.398896] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled error code
[354490.061486] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk

The filesystem errors are just a symptom of the fact that the underlying device stops responding.

Do you get the same problem if you use wired ethernet instead of wifi?

Thanks for the reply, I suspected this was the case.
I can not test this with eth, since I can't really bring a cable to the Pi (also, I've disabled the eth interface using instructions from here: www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8670).
I presume that there is no way to reduce the occurrences of this error so I stand in line for the USB fixes. To be honest the wi-fi usb dongles behaves much better than compared to a few months ago so probably they are on the right track.

Hi,

I'm getting the same issue though mine is just an external drive set up with samba,

Any ideas? I've already checked hdd with badblocks and it seems to in full working order.

Thanks

Scoot

Sorry, forgot to mention it's wired and I formatted it to ext4 as well

I'm having the same issue, USB drive continually resetting. (unrelated to rtorrent.)
This seems to be a common error: a google search for "raspberry pi Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" turned up several hits. They all seem to involve:
1. External USB drive
2. Powered USB hub
Have you had any further progress? Please post any update, thanks.

I tested the hard drive with seatools extended tests both in my pc and in the usb caddy and no fault, so the only thing I can think of is that it's an issue either with the pi or just a compatibility issue with the caddy

Are you auto mounting the drives? I've had similar issues in the past whilst trying to use MiniDLNA and found the simple solution was to use fstab to mount the drive with it's UUID to a specific location. When the Pi tries to connect to the drive again it's at the same address and picks up where it left off without affecting playback.

so use uuid instead of /dev entry? interesting, the only thing I was using was samba as I planned to use it as web serving drive, might give that a try then
