Comment 14 for bug 1815588

This issue still exist in Ubuntu 20.02 5.4.0-18-generic (28 Mar 2020).

For the one who still struggling this is a workaround works for me.

My UAS USB3 external storage: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 152d:0583 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JEYI External

The warning message in dmesg:
[ 5895.913004] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Optimal transfer size 33553920 bytes not a multiple of physical block size (4096 bytes)

if this usb is passed to qemu/kvm vm, dmesg will shows and the vm hangs(can not boot):
[ 6971.972846] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_ERROR driverbyte=DRIVER_OK

Disable the UAS for this device will fix this, and also you lost the TRIM/DISCARD ability for this device.

sudo modprobe -rv uas;sleep 1;sudo modprobe -v usb-storage quirks=357d:7788:u,152d:0583:u;sudo modprobe -v uas
