#18245 — Hard disk error (Error probing device: Error sending ATA command IDENTIFY DEVICE)

Message-ID<7263clxr47.ln2@Telcontar.valinor>
Hi,

I just bought a hard disk enclosure, a Yottamaster 5Bay USB3.0 Model F55 (non raid). My plan is to build a software raid 6 later.

Bought here <https://www.amazon.es/dp/B083Q8Z2KM>

I think it is this one:

<https://yottamaster.com/products/yottamaster-aluminum-5-bay-usb3-1-type-c-external-hard-drive-enclosure-for-3-5-2-5-inch-sata-hdd-ssd-support-5-x-16tb-mac-style-direct-attached-storage-das-ps500c3>


I don't have yet the hard disks that will populate it, but I have 2 disks to test it.

This is what I get on the log - there is an error

fdisk -l works.


If I run smart short test on one disk, it refuses to start on another, which is funny because tests are supposed to happen internally to the hard disk.


What do you think about the error?

The first thing you check with "materials" like this, is what
driver support and firmware support does it have. There is a button
to click, which claims to expose user manuals for download.

   https://support.yottamaster.com/download

A bad sign, is when you can't even hire someone to make a web site.
The web site behaves like it's on someones night table and
running over a $39.95 ADSL package or something.

Fortunately, you have a PNP of idVendor=152d, idProduct=0578
and it is a JMicron 578.

Product Teaser PDF. UhOh! This sentence hints how an attempt to make
a cheap enclosure could go.

https://web.archive.org/web/20171215115739if_/http://www.jmicron.com:80/PDF/brief/jms578.pdf

   "Moreover, the JMS578 can combine with JMicron's SATA port multipliers to construct a data storage
    device with multiple bays of HDDs to meet the requirement for large capacity data storage applications."

The datasheet shows an SPI port, which might be for a 2KB device to change the VendorID.

The device has a <cough> "ROM" -- they don't even make it clear whether
that is EEPROM or what. In the year 2025, it's risky to make first-layer
mask programmed ROM chips. If you foul up the firmware in such a device,
you need a mechanism to support patching. Good devices use EEPROM, you
flash them up and blow the bugs out of it.

I'm not at all sure, whether frame-based SATA switching is supported over
USB. It probably is, but your results are not encouraging so far.

"Great science experiment you've got there, sir!" :-)

If the enclosure only had one hard drive bay and no 1port-to-5port
expansion chip bolted to it, this would not have played out the same way.

What I noticed, is that both the paper "manual" and the web talk of raid 
modes and a switch to control them, while this box is raidless. Raid is 
on another box, more expensive.

The metalwork and hardware give a good impression, though. The fan is 
actually silent.

Ha! So, probably several vendors build the same thing.

Sigh.


So you think this is a firmware issue, and nothing can be done on the 
Linux side?

It would seem "the underground" is distributing various firmwares for
this thing. Maybe the SPI bus really does have a firmware capability
to "fix" the stupid thing ? The architecture document isn't exactly honest
about this.

jms578fwupdater.tgz   2,089,194 bytes

     JMS578FwUpdate   4,130,828 bytes

I guess that means some of the devices, have a 4MB SPI flash chip.
and that's where the firmware is stored or something. THis could be
a small 8 pin DIP near the JMB578 on the circuit board.

I don't like to quote "sources" for things like this, unless
there is some sort of traceability for them.

The firmware may have been written by JMicron, but JMicron are
not likely to be serving the file like a RealTek might.

And since it's a flasher-firmware thing, the OS firmware support
is not of the same delivery type (some devices accept dynamic
firmware which is stored in device RAM). This would be a firmware
that is stored in  an outboard chip from the JMS578. It fixes issue
such as TRIM, UASP diaablement, proper support of power saving,
and so on.

The work you are doing, is similar to the work an enclosure
engineer might do, before shipping this project. Each user
apparently expected to "sweep the web", "look for bootleg firmware",
"install" and "hope for the best". A science project.

I also asked on the openSUSE mail list, and a chap named Bengt said:

+++·····················
I have no experience with this device but it seems like others are 
having problems as well with idVendor=152d, idProduct=0578 (JMicron 
Technology JMS578 SATA 6Gb/s)

It is not the "device" you have to worry about, it is
the firmware load that makes a difference.

As long as JMicron do not list the firmware(s) they
have as part of their production (RAID, non-RAID,
frame-based switching, enclosure-handling), it is hard to know precisely
how many firmware types there are to choose from, and
whether a different one would work better.

You would expect some enclosure management support. Some
units have a LED per drive, and maybe the controller chip
can communicate with the mux and light the lights it wants
to light.

Another form of input the controllers had in the past,
was mode switches, you could select JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID10
with a couple DIP switches on the enclosure. And the firmware
would read those and operate the disks (with metadata written on them)
accordingly. Like if one drive is the odd drive, the other the even
drive, your clusters or inodes end up in the correct order,
each time the enclosure boots.

You can do a JBOD, and run a softRAID on top of them, which I gather
was your plan, until the drives did not behave themselves.

Yes, there is a tiny blue LED that blinks fast with activity. It is hard 
to see. I mentioned in another post how to make it blink to identify a disk.

Yes, that's a different model of box, more expensive. I intentionally 
did not buy that one because I prefer software raid.

No, my box has no modes, it is just separate disks. I will do a software 
raid 6 on that. This means it will be slow.

Should you not just return it as not being fit for purpose?

I'm not sure how much help, if any, the following will be, because it's 
not quite the same sort of thing that you've bought, but I have an 
external drive bay based on an JMS56x chip, and by and large it works 
fine.  In Windows, occasionally it doesn't register when I plug it in, 
but that doesn't happen very often, and usually unplugging it, removing 
ghost devices from Device Manager in Windows, and plugging it back in 
will get it to work.  AFAICR, I've not had any problems with it under 
Ubuntu.  Perhaps I should note also that I've not tried to use all the 
functionality of it, for instance using it to copy disks directly.

It's this:

Sure, but which one can I get instead?

Probably all 5 disk enclosures will be using the same chipset. I can 
instead buy 9 or 10 individual, one disk enclosures, with their 10 
separate power supplies. I would need an insane cabinet space, too.

I would have to cancel the project, and return the hard disks, too.

Well, whenever I buy anything like this, I look at the critical reviews, 
just to get a feel for "What's the worst that can happen?", the answer 
to which in this case seems to be, "You lose all your data!".  First, I 
went to look at the critical reviews on the link you gave at the start 
of this thread, but amazon.es wanted me to sign in  -  sign in, just to 
read reviews???  -  and I don't have an account with them, only 
amazon.co.uk, so I looked up the critical reviews there instead.  There 
are quite a few, enough to  deter me from buying, so maybe return it and 
try a different make and model with, hopefully, better firmware?

That's weird, doesn't happen to me. In fact, I have two separate 
profiles in firefox, one for looking in Amazon without login, and 
another profile where I login. This way I avoid they pestering me with 
mails about what I searched.

Sometimes, when opening the uk or the .com amazon pages they ask me to 
fill a captcha.

I looked at the reviews at the Amazon.es site, they were acceptable, 
more so than other alternatives :-D

Funny, when I try your link, it asks ME to login!

I had to open instead the https://www.amazon.co.uk/ page first, then 
search for the product number in your link, "B08DLTKXCP", which is not 
the same one as I got, which is "B083Q8Z2KM". Mine is 6 GBps, while this 
one is 10GBps. This one has daisy chain USB, mine doesn't.

You also have to be careful with the review, because they bundle several 
models, namely the one that has internal raid. It happens when the same 
page in Amazon has two or more model, which you choose pressing a button 
just below the initial description.

On each review there is a text that says "Size Name: USB3.0 RAID". The 
correct one would have "Size Name: USB3.1 Type C Daisy..."


If I click on "see more reviews", it asks for my login. I did not 
continue :-(


Something has changed at Amazon :-/

Yeah, nowadays you have a unified accounts which you should be able to

Like when you're on a different site, and see a button "Log in with 
Amazon"? I've also used some sites that sell something and have a "Pay 
with Amazon" button.

Those will not work for me. I use a separate, isolated, Firefox profile 
to deal with Amazon. Actually two, one for searching, and another for 
login and then purchasing. So they can no associate what I search with 
my email. I do the same with Gmail.

And my normal profile has disabled Amazon cookies.

It might depend on what firmware is in the box.

«Additionally, you may have run into the stupid way these units power 
down the drives after 10 minutes of inactivity forcefully. Completely 
ignoring OS or HDD settings. This is infuriating if you want the drives 
to do what you tell them.»

Argh. So I need a cronjob every five minutes? Or do they restart 
automatically?

[...]

Seems to not be happening. I listed files in the terminal more than 10 
minutes later, and it responded instantly.


«It appears that most JMicron based USB enclosures use a “feature” in 
the enclosure to override the model/serial number of the drive inside to 
instead match the outside of the case. This is popular for pre-assembled 
units but is an absolute pain for user-replaceable drives.»

What? :-O  [...] Wow, it is true. :-/

How on earth can I know what RAID disk I have to replace?

[...]

Mmm... activity makes the blue led to blink slightly, very fast.


He says it is easy to flash, but it is a different enclosure.

Google (<https://serverfault.com/questions/907615/how-to-make-a-raid-disk-light-blink-on-linux>):

use "ledctl locate=/dev/sdd". Installed "ledmon". Doesn't work.

Telcontar:~ #

Google:

while :; do smartctl -a /dev/sdf; done;


Yes, this one works. Improved variant:

Telcontar:~ # while :; do smartctl -a /dev/sde; sleep 2; done 1>/dev/null
^C
Telcontar:~ #
