PList
Primary Defect List. When the value is 0, the returned data does not include the Primary
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.

Defect List
Format
This field indicates the format of the descriptors returned. If this differs from the format
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 respon-
sible for comparing the defect list length and the allocation length to ensure that a partial
list was not received.
