This is a well known linux kernel bug.

You should start using Solaris.....


The Linux kernel bastardizes ATAPI transported SCSI commands under some
circumstances.


READ TOC & BLANK are the commands that are usually affected.

Using Solaris with exactly the same hardware verifies that it is a Linux
kernel bug.
