Public bug reported:

I am seeing various USB drive errors while trying to use the drives.

For instance, I am unable to successfully create a new file system on
the drives. One example is parted which returns the following error:
Error fsyncing/closing /dev/sdc: Remote I/O error

dmesg shows the following error in this case: end_request: critical
target error, dev sdc, sector 0

The errors appear with different brands and types of USB drives. I have
tested the drives on other systems and they are okay.

Earlier versions of Ubuntu (prior to 14.04) do not show these errors. I
am running the i386 version.

I have tried different versions of the kernel. It seems to have appeared
in the 3.13.0-35 kernel. I do not see it while using the 3.13.0-34
kernel, but see it in newer kernels. It is present in both the generic
and low latency versions of the kernel.

I have tried the Utopic kernels 3.16.0.37.29 with the same results.

I have also tried the upstream kernels 4.0.3-040003, and 4.1.0-040100rc3
and still see the problem.

I have multiple systems, and am only seeing this on systems with AMD
processors and certain nVidia chipsets, for instance GeForce 6100
Northbridge/nForce 410 Southbridge.

Here is the output of lsb_release -rd :
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release:	14.04

Please let me know if you need additional information. I will be happy
to provide any information that you would find helpful.
