Package: hdparm
Version: 9.39-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The hdparm tool was unable to unlock standard OPAL SSC drives. Two
OPAL drives were tested. The first test was with a Seagate Momentus.
The scenario is this:
1) The drive was first put in the stock factory configuration (that
is, on the internal SATA bus of the Thinkpad T61)
2) The BIOS was used to create a password.
3) Rebooted, and the BIOS rightly asked for a password, which was
used to unlock the drive.
4) The drive was removed and then usb-attached (using a JMicron
bridge).
5) The BIOS does not see USB-attached OPAL drives ("No Operating
System"). This is a T61 limitation.
6) An internal drive was installed simply to boot Debian.
7) "sudo hdparm --security-unlock 1234 /dev/sdb"
Step 7 /appears/ to work, showing this output:
====8<----------------------------------------
security_password="1234"
/dev/sdb:
Issuing SECURITY_UNLOCK command, password="1234", user=user
====8<----------------------------------------
8) fdisk /dev/sdb
fdisk: unable to read /dev/sdb: Input/output error

The above scenario is on Debian Wheezy.
Another experiment was done, this time with a Hitachi (model
"hts22016k9sa00") on Ubuntu 13.10, and in that case the hdparm command
itself failed (in step 7), with the error "Input/Output Error".
