PList
Primary Defect List. When the value is 0, the returned data does not include the Pri-
mary Defect List.
When the value is 1, the returned data includes the Primary Defect List.
GList
Grown Defect List. When the value is 0, the returned data does not include the
Grown Defect List.
When the value is 1, the returned data includes the Grown Defect List.
Defect List
Format
This field indicates the format of the descriptors returned. If this differs from the for-
mat requested in the Command Descriptor Block, a recovered error is returned.
Defect List
Length
This indicates the actual number of bytes that follow the defect list header. The drive
truncates the list if the allocation length is not sufficient to accommodate the entire
list (CHECK CONDITION status is not returned when this happens). The initiator is
responsible for comparing the defect list length and the allocation length to ensure
that a partial list was not received.
