Table 5-129
Field
When the value is 0, the returned data does not include the Primary Defect List.
PList
When the value is 1, the returned data includes the Primary Defect List. The defects are returned
in ascending order.
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. The defects are returned in
order of occurrence.
GList
When both PList and GList are set to 1, the Primary Defect List and the Grown Defect List are re-
turned. The Plist is returned followed by the Glist (the lists are not merged). When both are set to
0, only the Defect List Header (Table 5-132) is reported to the initiator.
Defect List This field specifies the format in which the defect descriptors are to be returned. The supported for-
Format mats are:
If the number of defect descriptors the SCSI device has assigned does not exceed the capability of
the ALLOCATION LENGTH field size but contains a value that is insufficient to transfer all of
the defect descriptors, the defect list length shall not be adjusted to reflect the truncation and the
device server shall not create a CHECK CONDITION status. The initiator is responsible for
Allocation
comparing the defect list length and the allocation length to determine that a partial list was
Length
received. If the number of defect descriptors the SCSI device has assigned exceeds the capability
of the ALLOCATION LENGTH field size, the drive shall transfer no data and return a CHECK
CONDITION status and the sense key shall be set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and the additional
sense code set to INVALID FIELD IN CBD.

All in-line spared blocks do not have an associated LBA, and, therefore, will not be
seen in Logical Block Format.
