  I don't think that is a good idea for a device to lie about what it
supports.  The illegal command response is an appropriate response for an
unimplemented command, so OS knows that the command did not work.  FreeBSD
simply logs it to the console, and it is harmless.

  BTW, most SCSI-SCSI RAID boxes don't implement the cache flush command.
