This looks rather like dvd+rw-format and your drive do not
agree on what is a proper FORMAT UNIT command.
The kernel has only the role of transporting command and
answer. This it seems to do fine.

The problem could be about this line in dvd+rw-format.cpp:
                if ((formats[4+4]&3)==2)// same capacity for already formatted

Since the -ssa=none format 31h is the largest of all,
you cannot get a 30h format of the same size.
That capacity wish would be the invalid filed in the
command.

If you want to go back to a smaller format you
will probably need to give an explicit -ssa=size.
I read in dvd+rw-format.cpp :
  -ssa=default


Have a nice day :)
