Support for btrfs over USB

[Galacticai]

I tried this driver with an internally-connected SATA SSD and it worked flawlessly, however, using the same ssd but connecting it through a USB 3 -to- SATA adapter leads to nothing happening,

Meanwhile programs like Diskinternals Linux Reader can read it fine which means the drive is readable over the adapter

I also tried a drive with NTFS partitions over the adapter, it worked fine

So

• the adapter appears to be working fine
• btrfs works (internally through this driver, and externally through program like linux reader)
• ntfs works natively

Therefore I assume this driver does not support btrfs over usb

---

Extra: wifi gets super unstable whenever this is connected, but it could be anything, so I'm not blaming this driver

---

Is this driver meant to work over USB or only meant for internal connections?

Are you doing this on an AMD Ryzen PC? AMD Ryzen AM4, AM5, Threadripper systems have massive USB stability issues... Would also explain your WiFi issues.

Regarding the wifi issues, after further trying and investigation, it doesn't seem related to the partitions filesystem. (btw I'm on intel, having realtek wifi)

EDIT: intel wifi* not realtek

Similar thing happened me ... earlyer i have a toshiba 500gb hdd debian on it with btrfs, when in the dock... then i switched the 500 to 128gb ssd same debian+ btrfs and the 500GB hdd goes to the external usb3 thingy... sometimes when i try to write on it just completly freezing sometimes just HDD is removed, without any sound ... Multiple times sys freezed...

The inside drive is fine... just on USB3 .... making those crasheses and system freezes...
