Hi, can you provide any info?

RadiantUwU commented 1 month ago

Recently after getting the driver i noticed crashes like these. image

RadiantUwU commented 1 month ago

This also occurs when resuming from sleep mode.

This one look more like your disk is dying, could you check the result of smartctl -a /dev/sdb?

Doesn't look like it to me.

We should take note how SATA errors are being reported in the logs, but inside the SSD no actual error has ever been reported.

RinCat commented 1 month ago

The error is reported from SATA module and EXT4 module, why you think this driver cause the error? It gives the I/O timeout error on the logic block number on sdb.

Never had the issue without this driver, and i just removed and everything is now normal again.

Have you considered the possibility that it's EMI?

Nobody reported this before and I had 6 SATA SSDs connected right now.

Unsuspected hardware issue (the motherboard is new, bought in August)

The SATA controller died on me 20241114_143116.jpg
