Turns out I was stracing /sbin/hdparm and not ./hdparm (doh). If I strace the right binary I get: ioctl(3, SG_IO, {'S', SG_DXFER_NONE, cmd[12]=[a1, 06, 20, 05, fd, 00, 00, 00, 40, ef, 00, 00], mx_sb_len=32, iovec_count=0, dxfer_len=0, timeout=5000, flags=0, status=02, masked_status=01, sb[22]=[72, 0b, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 0e, 09, 0c, 00, 04, 00, fd, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 40, 51], host_status=0, driver_status=0x8, resid=0, duration=1, info=0x1}) = 0 Does that mean the drive doesn't support SET_FEATURES/{05,85} (weird)?
