Table 14-20: Maximum Additional Partitions

This field indicates how many partitions in addition to
the default partition (partition 0) should be created
when the IDP bit is set to 1. The maximum number of
additional partitions
Additional Partitions field. This field is ignored if
the IDP bit is set to 0.
The value reported by MODE SENSE indicates how many
partitions in addition to the default partition exist on
the inserted medium. If the drive is not ready, the
Additional Partitions Defined field is undefined.
A Fixed Data Partitions (FDP) bit of one indicates that
the Drive will partition the medium into two fixed sized
partitions. The sizes of the partitions are determined
by the Drive. When used for QFA, the first partition
(partition 0)
partition (1) is the directory partition. A FDP bit of
one is only valid when using a SLRtape140 to SLRtape7 or
SLR32 medium.
Drive will not operate with fixed additional partitions.
When setting both the FDP and the IDP bits to zero, the
drive will partition the medium with a single partition.
Legal values are 0 and 1.
The default (factory programmed) value is 0 (only one
partition defined).
This bit must be set to 0, it is not changeable (the
Drive does not support select data partition option).
An Initiator Defined
indicates that the Drive will partition the medium as
defined by the Additional Partitions Defined field and
the Partition Size Descriptor fields. An IDP bit of one
is only valid when using a SLRtape140 to SLRtape7 or
SLR32 medium. An IDP bit of zero indicates that the
Drive will not

Legal values are 0 and 1.
The default (factory programmed) value is 0 (only one
