Description Klaus Kusche 2018-08-23 19:06:33 UTC 
Since 4.18, all my external USB3-to-SATA Icybox disk enclosures with usb Id 357d:7788 (seems to be a very common controller chip: Sharkoon QuickPort XT)
fail with the following error when mounting an ext4 fs:

print_req_error: critical target error, dev sdd, sector 2048
Buffer I/O error on dev sdd1, logical block 0, lost sync page write
EXT4-fs (sdd1): I/O error while writing superblock
EXT4-fs (sdd1): mount failed

- They worked before 4.18.
- Reading is definitely ok, async writing seems to work, too.
- The problem occurs with several different disks (I only tested HGST drives).
- The same disks work in enclosures with other controllers.

All USB bugs should be sent to the linux-usb@vger.kernel.org mailing
list, and not entered into bugzilla.  Please bring this issue up there,
if it is still a problem in the latest kernel release.
