Right. Try sdparm instead:
lightning ~ # sdparm /dev/sda
/dev/sda: ATA ST3250823AS 3.03
Read write error recovery mode page:
AWRE 1 [ sav: 1]
ARRE 1 [ sav: 1]
PER 0 [ sav: 0]
Caching (SBC) mode page:
WCE 1 [ sav: 1]
RCD 0 [ sav: 0]
Control mode page:
SWP 0 [ sav: 0]
lightning ~ #
I don't know how to use it, but it's there... ;-)
