Public bug reported:

Scsi Enclosure Services driver for WD MyPassport Essential USB 3.0
ata_id[821]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument

I have an USB 3.0 external Western Digital MyPassport Essential 500GB drive 
that uses SES (Scsi Enclosure Services) firmware.
I have it partioned with 2 NTFS and 7 EXT4 partitions for storage and for Linux 
Ubuntu and Mint.
When I use it with Windows 7 (for external storage) I do not have Smartware 
installed on my Windows 7 internal disk, only the SES driver as recommended to 
avoid a popup windows asking for the driver.
When I use it with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise (/ on /dev/sdb7, /home on /dev/sdb8) I 
have the following message on boot:

ata_id[821]: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument

Same message with LinuxMint 13 Maya (/ on /dev/sdb6) when ending session
or quit.

The problem has been identified and submitted upstream on ArchLinux (see 
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27060).
Thank you
                                        Joao Franco
