question about log entries related to usb flash

Post by corvisrex »

Firstly, I am very new to nas4free, and am just getting my head around some of the terminology and methods (i'm primarily an Arch linux user, not a freebsd user) so forgive me if this is in the wrong place, or has been answered elsewhere (couldn't find it)

I setup nas4free, v9.1.0.1 embedded on a 2GB Kingston Datatraveller, its usb2 and in a usb2 slot

everything seems to work fine...but my logs show quite a few of these entries

May 27 18:04:02 elephantine kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Retrying command (per sense data)
May 27 18:04:02 elephantine kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL. CDB: 1e 0 0 0 1 0
May 27 18:04:02 elephantine kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error
May 27 18:04:02 elephantine kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI status: Check Condition

when I google it, I only see a reference to freebsd that this is a quirk in the Kingston DataTravellers. But is it a serious quirk?

Is this something I should be worried about? Should I swap this out for a different usb stick? Since I am still in the building and setup phase, it wouldn't be a serious effort to replace.
Just curious if anyone has any imput on this

And for the devel team. WOW, I am so far really, really impressed by what I am seeing so far with nas4free, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the reply. What I figured, even if not a serious issue, be to swap it out just to be safe. Not too much trouble I have more than a few new flash drives sitting around, just still getting used to nas4free and embedded systems in general.

Re: question.. update

For other peoples future reference...

the Kingston DataTraveller I was using was listed in the logs as having USB revision 2.00/1.00 with quirks = 0x0100
I switched to a usb stick listed as revision 2.00/2.00 which showed quirks = 0x4100

This new one works great, without the errors.

rev 2.00/1.00 usually denotes more cheaply made sticks (or so I understand), but it probably had something to do with the umass quirk 0x0100, I tried another stick with the same quirk and it gave the same errors. so quirk=0x0100 gave me errors, quirk 0x4100=no errors, at least for me.
