Here are the outputs of sg_* commands. But, I faced a strange behavior
when I was trying these sg_* commands. Initially, it didn't recognize my
usb WD disk as I mentioned in my BUG report. Then, after 8 mins, it
recognized (you can see it on attached "usb.log" file.) it! so, I was
able to get the outputs of sg_* commands ( Because; when it didn't
recognize it, there was no "sdb" file under /dev ) and now it works fine!
