Just to confirm what Hans has reported.  After power has been removed the 
Seagate Expansion usb disk always produces faults unless it has been 
blacklisted in some way.  Once the disk is working the computer can be powered 
off and restarted without the blacklist and, as long as its power has not been 
removed, the disk can be reconnected many times without any error.

With Hans's changes the disk mounts correctly with the uas module every time.

My guess is that one of the interface registers is not or cannot be 
initialized correctly.  If after a failure I try unplugging and reinserting 
the usb connector many times it has sometimes connected correctly - which to 
me means that some random bit eventually has the right value. 

Regards,

David Webb.
