The configurations which it is possible to specify for the “Defect descriptors” in the defect
list (D List), and their description formats, are shown below. Furthermore, it is possible
only to specify User Space and CE Space address information on the disk media in the
Defect list (D List).

Byte distance from the index format defect descriptor
Figure 4.20 shows this description format of the defect descriptor. Defect descriptor
in this format specifies the cylinder number, head (track) number and byte distance to
the top byte of those data (8 bytes), of the data which includes defective bits, on the
disk media. One defect is treated as a defect with a length of 8 bytes (64 bits length).
Therefore, for defects with a length which exceeds 8 bytes, 2 or more defect
descriptors must be specified. When multiple defect descriptors are specified, the
cylinder number must be specified in the top position, the byte distance from the
index in the bottom position, and the defect positions listed in ascending order.
IMPORTANT
In order to specify an entire track as defective, X ‘FFFFFFFF’
must be specified as the byte distance from the index to the defect
position.
