Your kernel log has this in the middle: > 2020-11-30 09:31:41.360334 notice [kernel:] [425843.704480] sd > 19:0:0:0: Embedded Enclosure Device > 2020-11-30 09:31:41.360335 warning [kernel:] [425843.704732] sd > 19:0:0:0: Mode parameters changed That "Mode parameters changed" implies that what the kernel read first time around may not be the actual configuration of the enclosure. In particular, the generation code being 0x12c is also an indicator things may have changed. My theory is when the kernel boots the device is returning 0 for most of the possible elements, but it changes this at a later stage. One way to verify would be to compile ses as modular but blacklist it so it can't be inserted, then do sg_ses -p to get the enclosure and then insert the ses module to see if the two agree on the components. Unfortunately, even if that's successful, figuring out what we have to do to the enclosure to get it to finish its internal scanning may not be so easy. James
