US_FL_NO_WP_DETECT without US_FL_IGNORE_UAS does not make a difference, even with the patch you included applied: [ 44.108417] JBD2: Clearing recovery information on journal [ 44.119593] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] tag#1 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [ 44.121605] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] tag#1 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [ 44.123254] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] tag#1 Add.

Even though the only difference is a MODE SENSE > command, the command that actually faliled was WRITE(16). It looks to me like the MODE SENSE simply hangs the drive, so anything issued after that will fail. Of course the drive says it's the "current command" that caused the failure, but I wouldn't give too much credence to that. FYI -- this device is a consumer grade rotational drive that you can get for less than $200, so I wouldn't be surprised if the implementations have issues. Also, I noticed that copying onto the drive with dd works fine, whereas trying to mount a filesystem immediately crashes it. I suspect this is because check_disk_change is called on mount (which eventually calls down to sd_read_write_protect_flag, which is where the US_FL_NO_WP_DETECT flag comes into play).
