Data transfer issue over USB 3.0 ExpressCard
by l1m0n4d3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZM7C)
Dear all, I'm facing issues when rsync-ing files between two hard drives.
Destination drive is contained in an external USB 3.0 enclosure and connected to a bus card installed in a laptop HP ProBook 6450b.
Code:# rsync -av /path/to/source /path/to/destination/seems to work fine until operation is suddenly aborted by an I/O error. After that, data are no more visible when browsing the drive with Dolphin. Every time it's necessary to unmount and disconnect this external HDD and to connect it again. These sudden disruptions also cause file system to be cleaned with fsck.
After several attempts with several drives, I suspect the bus card is the culprit. Might there be something wrong with some PCIe power saving settings?
Otherwise I can't explain why this bus card, after a certain time, just goes on strike, no matter if data are being transferred over the bus.
Distro is Leap 15.1 with latest kernel version 5.5.x
Thanks in advance!
