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 returned. 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 5-138) is reported to the
initiator.
Defect List This field specifies the format in which the defect descriptors are to be returned. The
Format supported formats are:
