USB HDD not responding

Tested guest OS:
Fedora 22
Ubuntu 14.04
USB HDD is formatted as NTFS/exFAT/ext4.

Reproduction steps:
1. Plug USB HDD
2. Attach USB HDD to guest OS

It's not something related to file system type, it should be something wrong in lower level.

dmesg:
I'll post detailed when I'm back home.
I only remember that there is an error like "not accepting adress", "timeout", or an error around "scsi" subsystem.

Meanwhile, I have a Windows 10 guest, and USB HDD works fine.

I submitted a ticket today but unfortunately it was a wasted of time, and what's more, even the problem was still unclear, state of the ticket had been changed to "RESOLVED" by someone. This made me a bit annoyed.

Hi, in previous post, Seagate is connected to HUB, but Samsung is directly connected.

 

The issue is, with same port and device, Windows guest works fine but Ubuntu/Fedora guest doesn't work, log is shown as above.

 

Having similar issue with latest Mint 18 (64 and 32 bit versions and latest Ubuntu) and Parallels 11.2.1 (32626)
It seems to go awry at point:
scsi 9:0:0:0: tag#0 uas_eh_abort_handler 0 uas-tag 1 inflight: CMD IN
With the stock Virtual Appliance Ubuntu 14.0 it actually seems to work, instead you see:
scsi9 : usb-storage 4-1:1.0
mtp-probe: checking bus 4, device 3: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.6/usb4/4-1"
mtp-probe: bus: 4, device: 3 was not an MTP device
scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Samsung Portable SSD T3 0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6
sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi g

 

Here is a work around that prevents USB3.0 timeout occurring under latest Mint and Ubuntu distros
Im my case I have a Samsung T3 SSD drive, the vendor ID and product ID can be seen in the /var/log/syslog when connecting the device:

usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=61f3
usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1
usb 4-1: Product: Portable SSD T3
usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Samsung​

So to turn off uas for idVendor=04e8, idProduct=61f3 you can do this

su
echo "options usb-storage quirks=04e8:61f3:u" > /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
locale-gen --purge --no-archive
update-initramfs -u
reboot​

Should be all good again
