It looks like the drive is replying with an ILLEGAL REQUEST/INVALID
FIELD IN CDB error to all the interesting SCSI commands, and to pretty
much anything hdparm sends it.

I've also tried throwing sdparm at it. The only page sdparm can get out
of it is the basic identification page:

[anovak@octagon hdparm-9.54]$ sudo sdparm -i /dev/sdg
    /dev/sdg: Seagate   Backup+ Hub BK    D781
Device identification VPD page:
  Addressed logical unit:
    designator type: NAA,  code set: Binary
      0x5000000000000001

But this has convinced me that I am actually communicating with the disk
itself. Is there any way the kernel/driver could be tinkering with the
commands that hdparm used to send that worked and which now fail? Or is
there some kind of initialization that isn't being done that would put
the disk in a mode where it is willing to do more things?
