Re: [Bug 1393151] Re: mkfs.ext3 causes kernel panic on new WD 6 TB drive
Can you try running memtest86+ for 12-24 hours, and see if that turns
up anything? Sometimes flaky memory can result in very confusing
problems / symptoms --- espeially when it almost but not always works
correctly.
The other thing which I might be suspicious about is if there might be
some subtle flaw (either in the design, or your specific mainboard ---
i.e., maybe a slightly cracked trace in the PCB) that is affecting DMA
transfers from the HDD, but not from the USB stick.
If you can borrow a 2TB USB-attached HDD, and try that, and that
works, but a 2TB drive attached via SATA fails, then I would be deeply
suspicious of your mainboard.
Did this ever work before? What changed recently? Did you upgrade to
a newer version of the distro, kernel, etc.? Has the system been
recently moved (dropped, etc.)? Or is this a completely new
installation?
Sorry for asking such basic questions, but this really doesn't smell
like a software bug at this point.

mkfs.ext3 causes kernel panic on new WD 6 TB drive
Status in “e2fsprogs” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
mkfs.ext3 always causes a kernel panic on both of my WD 6 TB drives
while writing the inode tables. Both drives were initialised using
parted with a GPT and a single partition (mkpart primary 2048s 100%)

I'll have to try to take a photo of the KP since it's not being
logged, I'm just seeing it on the screen.
Creating an ext4 partition works fine but the crash just happens later
after writing files to the partition. Disks seems to be fine smart-
wise. It's unlikely that both disks are damaged in almost the same
area without S.M.A.R.T. noticing it.
