I’ve dealt with this issue for a while with my own SanDisk Fit 32 GB USB 3.0 thumb drive, and had come across the remove and re-insert trick somewhere, but I’d never found a permanent fix. I just read jdb2’s suggestion above from 2015, and his follow-up from 2016, but none of what he suggests seems to fix the problem for me. I tried adding those various parameters to the grub default boot line, making sure to update grub and everything, but none of them on that rootwait … line, nor any of the “quirks” parameters that I could discern seemed to work. Maybe I didn’t use the right quirks parameters? What did other people actually use? Also, it’s not clear how that “kiyoshi’s help” boot loader would help in this instance. Is there not just a straightforward config that is known to work with these faulty drives and, say, a standard Linux Mint Cinnamon install (with no special bootloader config required)?
