how to get serial_no from usb HD disk (HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl, hdparm -i)

How can I get serial_no from usb-attached HD drive ? The HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl fails (like 'hdparm -i'). Any advice on how to extract the drive serialNo from the usb disk ? Can I write kernel module to extract the SerialNo ? (I don't need whole 'struct hd_driveid', only the SerialNo). Thanks
