Comment 5 for bug 193154

A hack is a hack, and that's exactly what the above solution is. I'm not asking for a kernel backport solely to address this bug, I'm merely asking for it to be considered for bundling with the next kernel update -- bugfix updates are routinely bundled in this fashion AFAIK.

I know how to perform this udev hack locally to work around my drive's problem, but that does nothing for the less knowledgeable Ubuntu users who might have no idea what's going on except files are becoming corrupted randomly on their external drives.
