I run Ubuntu 18.04 and was reviewing the boot messages to make sure that the upgrade (which happened a week ago) is now stable.

I found the following messages (the bold bits are actually red in journalctl -b):

May 19 14:38:07 srv kernel: scsi 0:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 13

This disk is otherwise recognized correctly (as a USB attached device):

What do these messages mean?

    @Rinzwind: I am not sure if this is a dupe. You mean that the common messages (the last three ones in bold) explicitly mean "hardware failure"? – WoJ Jul 21 '19 at 07:38
