    After referring to the SCSI command codes "cdb 0x1e" means ALLOW MEDIUM 
REMOVAL command -- which could hardly be addressed to an usual hard disk. So, 
it looks like we had a case of the confused bug report which has a lot of info 
on the hard disk while errors were most probably happening with a CD/DVD 
drive. :-)
