USB hard drive not showing up

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX
1

A Seagate USB hard drive is connected to the Jetson NX. Initially, it works as expected. After a while(~few days), it stops showing up in fdisk -l (still shows up in lsusb). Dmesg shows a bunch of hardware errors.
Unplug and replug + reboot takes things back to normal. This seems to be related to power management. Any help on this would be appreciated!

Attaching relevant dmesg logs:

We will use our usb drive to try. However, maybe not a segate one.

5

Sure, thanks! Does this look like a vendor specific firmware issue to you? Or do you think it’s related to the USB driver?

6

Hello,

Can you try to use a self powered (external power) usb hub, connect this Seagate drive on this hub and see if issue is still?

7

Will try that. But I noticed that the power LED on the drive was on even when it didn’t show up in fdisk. So how would externally powered USB hub help?

8

It has chance NX is not able to provided enough power to your disk. Using external power hub to prevent that.

11

That did not work either. The issue still persists, and is happening much more frequently now. Please look into this!

Is this a custom board or devkit?

What software release are you using?

Does this issue also happen to other usb hard drive?

We tried the same test on our side but we cannot reproduce this issue.
It looks like it needs to take almost 10 days to reproduce this issue in your previous log. What are the works doing on this usb drive? You just put it there idle?

14

Tried another USB hard drive from WD. The issue does not happen there.

I noticed that the Seagate drive uses UAS, whereas the WD drive uses USB.

/: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=tegra-xusb/4p, 5000M
|__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 5000M
|__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=usb-storage, 5000M
|__ Port 2: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 5000M

I am currently disabling UAS on the Seagate drive using this command:
echo 0bc2:ac30:u > /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/quirks

Is this a known issue with UAS?

15

We do have some issues with different kind of USB drive with solution to add ID to quirk list.

16

Thanks, will update if this fix works.
What would be the read/write speed difference by disabling UAS and falling back to USB?

17

Getting these errors on the Nano even after disabling UAS.(AGX and NX seem to be running fine) Please advise.

You can firstly reply those questions I asked in previous comment.

The issue has not happened on the AGX/NX after this fix. It still happens on the Nano.
Here are the details of the Nano:

L4T version: Release 32, revision:4.4
It is a devkit.
The application is a deep learning training job which reads the dataset from the USB drive. It runs into an error within 10-15 minutes.

Also checked the L4T version on the AGX and NX: They use 32.5.1. Is there any reason this issue would persist even after disabling UAS on 32.4.4 but not on 32.5.1?
