This does not look like a right solution.  WD2500JB is an IDE disk made
by Western Digital:

http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=42

Therefore the problematic LaCie device is really an USB/Firewire-to-IDE
adapter with the WD2500JB drive in a box.  And it is the USB-IDE part
which fails on the REPORT_LUNS command, not the IDE disk.  Probably
there are other LaCie devices with the same adapter but different disks
inside; adding all such IDE disks to the SCSI blacklist does not seem
like a good solution.  The usb-storage blacklist seems like a better
place for such entry.
