[electhor (electhor)]

This is still occurring with kernel 2.6.32-22-generic - exactly the same message and behaviour as described above.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi electhor,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 571429

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I did that twice.

It still occurs every time I 'safely remove' the external hard drive. This has only occurred with the lucid kernel - prior kernels (going back as far as Ibex) did not have this issue and the hard drive partitions and filesystem types are unchanged. I will test the current development kernel tomorrow and let you know. I unfortunately don't have the bandwidth available to download a daily build - I'm on very limited bandwidth at present. I apologise.

[electhor (electhor)]

Hi Jeremy,

Just one question re testing the upstream kernel. The daily build has not got a kernel image image, only kernel headers and kernel source - I thought I should be testing the kernel image. Can you please tell me what I have to test as the two options available under daily/current (below), don't seem correct. Of course I could be wrong, but the last time I did this kind of testing, I remember using the upstream kernel image.

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/

[electhor (electhor)]

The latest daily and current kernel gives the same message upon removing the external hard drive.
Kernel image is:- linux-image-2.6.35-999-generic_2.6.35-999.201006111153_i386.deb

[penalvch (penalvch)]

electhor, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
