[Bug 1035018] Re: Boot error with Scsi Enclosure Services - Ubuntu 12.04

[Joao Carlos Franco]

Phillip
I am very happy that you are going to take care of this old bug.
1-The message is not in /var/log/syslog but in
   /var/log/boot.log of which I attach a copy
2-It slows down the boot process
3-It does not show if grub in MBR is the one installed in the       system
4-It shows if grub in MBR is of one of the other linuxes in same external
disk (i.e. Mint 12.04)
5-There is no bug in Manjaro Linux (base Archlinux)
6-The bug occurs also with another Western Digital( 'Passport'),
    which I use as storage only (not to boot in this notebook)
7-The bug shows also in a different notebook (Asus A6TC)
8-Should I update the bug report with this information?
Best regards
                          João Franco

Title:
  Boot error with Scsi Enclosure Services - Ubuntu 12.04

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Scsi Enclosure Services driver for WD MyPassport Essential USB 3.0
  ata_id[821]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument

  I have an USB 3.0 external Western Digital MyPassport Essential 500GB drive that uses SES (Scsi Enclosure Services) firmware.
  I have it partioned with 2 NTFS and 7 EXT4 partitions for storage and for Linux Ubuntu and Mint.
  When I use it with Windows 7 (for external storage) I do not have Smartware installed on my Windows 7 internal disk, only the SES driver as recommended to avoid a popup windows asking for the driver.
  When I use it with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise (/ on /dev/sdb7, /home on /dev/sdb8) I have the following message on boot:

  ata_id[821]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument

  Same message with LinuxMint 13 Maya (/ on /dev/sdb6) when ending
  session or quit.

  The problem has been identified and submitted upstream on ArchLinux (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27060).
  Thank you
                                          Joao Franco
