Why is my SSD periodically hanging for 20 to 30 seconds?

Question

I was using Shotcut today when this happened, but it also happens doing other things too, maybe 2 to 5 times per day. It happened in 18.04, 18.10, and now 19.04. The laptop hangs with the SSD light illuminated for 20 to 30 seconds. I had previously increased my swapfile, thinking that might resolve it, but it didn't. I finally took a look at syslog during the hang up, but I don't understand what's happening or how to fix it. My laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad T420. My SSD is a Crucial 240 GB BX300.

May you post the output of smartctl -a /dev/(drivename) ? You may have to install the "smartmontools" package before you can run it. Looks like these errors may be due to a bad drive — Gordster, Jun 27, 2019 at 21:26
@Gordster I was afraid of that. I added that output above in my question. — ticotexas, Jun 27, 2019 at 21:39
Is this a desktop? Did you change any hardware? I have seen these errors happen when using a sata 1 or sata 2 cable with a sata 3 connector. It can also be that the PSU is too weak.It could also be an issue with the connector or the cable. — Rinzwind, Jun 27, 2019 at 21:48
@Rinzwind It is a ThinkPad T420 laptop. I took the original HDD and moved that to a caddy in the old CD location. Then I put a SSD in the hard drive location. I'm using the SSD for the system and the HDD for data storage. All this was done before installing Ubuntu. — ticotexas, Jun 27, 2019 at 21:55
Hmm. I assume you used one of those small connectors to convert from hdd to ssd? Not sure if those can create those messages :-P sorry — Rinzwind, Jun 27, 2019 at 22:05

It's very important to check for a SSD firmware update. Your current firmware is M2CR010. Go to https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware to check for newer firmware.

If your firmware is current, then you may have a NCQ problem.

Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is an extension of the Serial ATA protocol allowing hard disk drives to internally optimize the order in which received read and write commands are executed.

Edit /etc/default/grub and change the following line to include this extra parameter. Then do sudo update-grub to write the changes to disk. Reboot. Monitor hangs, and watch /var/log/syslog or dmesg for continued FPDMA error messages.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=noncq"

Update #1:

Also changed the BIOS setting for the SATA controller from AHCI to Compatibility.

No firmware updates are available for BX300. I will try the extra parameter. Thanks again!

I just experienced a hang since adding the extra parameter. I will post the hung syslog lines in my question above.

Jun 28, 2019 at 17:59
@ticotexas the NCQ patch may have helped, even though there may still be more wrong. See my comment in your newer question.

I've done the opposite of the link you provided. I went into BIOS and changed SATA from 'AHCI' to 'compatibility'. (It was already set to AHCI.) I'll see what happens.
