Gary Dalmadge, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.11
to 3.13 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed
immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited
analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this
following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  USB drive errors with kernel version 3.13.0-35 and above

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
