I don't know if this is the correct place for this problem, but you
people can probably tell me the correct place.
I have two "USB to SATA adapter" dongles. In general, they work fine.
However I've discovered that one of them handles large (1 TB and
above) drives correctly and one does not. In particular, when I use
the unsuccessful one, neither fdisk nor gdisk reports the disk size
correctly, and the kernel does not read the partition table.
More confusingly, both dongles work correctly with large disks on
Windows 7 Professional.
Both of the following cases are when a 3.0 TB drive is attached.
The successful device has the "Diablo" brand. The most interesting
messages in the log when I plug in the USB are (the complete message
set is appended below):

This could be because the processing engine on the card doesn't understand 16 byte commands (which are required for addressing capacity > 2TB) or it could just be a firmware SCSI emulator mistake. The best way of telling might be to use the SG_IO interface to send a read capacity 16. sg_readcap --16 should be able to do this. If you get a sensible response, chances are we should just quirk this device to apply RC16 first. If something goes wrong, it's likely unfixably broken for devices > 2TB James > Dale > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For the Diablo adapter: > > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.153343] usb 2-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.229462] usb 2-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=2338 > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.229475] usb 2-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5 > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.229482] usb 2-1.3: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.229488] usb 2-1.3: Manufacturer: JMicron > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.229495] usb 2-1.3: SerialNumber: 000001D91CC4 > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.231159] usb-storage 2-1.3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin kernel: [ 294.233951] scsi7 : usb-storage 2-1.3:1.0 > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin mtp-probe: checking bus 2, device 5: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1/2-1.3" > Aug 18 21:56:53 hobgoblin mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 5 was not an MTP device > Aug 18 21:56:54 hobgoblin kernel: [ 295.235735] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD30 EZRX-00SPEB0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 > Aug 18 21:56:54 hobgoblin kernel: [ 295.236209] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 > Aug 18 21:56:54 hobgoblin kernel: [ 295.236576] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Very big device.
