I am seeing a message in my logs for a disk identified as 'ata12'.

This does not look promising.
Oddly, I do not know which disk this is. I am guessing that the '12' is the same as I see with lsscsi:
[12:0:0:0] disk Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC 1.82 /dev/sdg
And that one is some USB disk that I am fairly certain is not connected anywhere. All known disks are accounted for.
/dev/sdg is /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_Ultra_HS-SD_MMC_F120C6023A1B-0:0
If I check the USB devices, a likely culprit is:
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0424:4060 Standard Microsystems Corp. Ultra Fast Media Reader
So I an guessing that on the motherboard there is such a thing. But there is no connection on the outside of the box. I am not using or needing it.
Is there any way to disable a device like this so that it 'goes away'? The messages in the system log appear every second or so. I don't need the clutter...
I tried this udev rule, but it made no difference: ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="0424", ATTR{idProduct}=="4060", RUN="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 >/sys/\$devpath/authorized'" -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
