I set up a backup directory on an external USB drive on F36, then connected it to a Windows machine to copy files.
However, F36 would not detect the drive after the copying; an old F35 machine did, as did the Windows machine when I reconnected it.
After some fruitless attempts to debug, I pulled a Microsoft and restarted F36.
The USB drive is now recognized by F36 again and a sample of the backup files seems correct.
Anyone have any hints on how I can figure out what happened?
journalctl shows several lines like
kernel: Buffer I/O error on dev sdf1, logical block 6217712, lost async page write
and then
udisksd[1101]: Mounted /dev/sdf1 at /run/media/dad/FreeAgent GoFlex Drive on behalf of uid 1000

but it was never actually mounted in any way I could detect.
Anyone have any clues on how to approach this problem?
Thanks!
