> do I need to mount it manually?

It can't be mounted because the sbp2 driver fails to establish the
connection with the device.  You could only mount it if sbp2
successfully logged in and the kernel's scsi and partition subsystems
logged some in dmesg drive info (model ID, capacity, cache type, whether
partitions were found).  But the kernel never gets as far at the moment.

Alas (1.) I have no idea yet what change in the kernel could have caused
that regression, (2.) I'm afraid there is no further workaround that
could be tried short of modifying the kernel.

Hmm, several web pages which I found for this model number list 500 GB
drives, which makes some sense.  Well, I guess they change specs faster
than product numbers...
