· It is suggested to specify P, G and C schemes ( i.e., to use Primary and Grown
lists, and to execute verify processing ) when specifying defect
management.
· The D scheme of defect management is not necessary for normal operation.
Since the controller automatically reads P and G lists in system area and
formats medium, the host computer does not need to specify the defect.
The D scheme is convenient for simulating defective sectors for evaluation
purpose.
· It is suggested to set TB(Transfer Block) bit in Error Recovery Parameter of
the MODE SELECT command and to issue the READ command for an error
block if error data is needed for the data recovery of the block which the
REASSIGN BLOCKS command is applied to.
The controller transfers the error block data to the host computer.
2.3
ERROR RETRY
The controller performs the following retry procedures when an error is detected.
The following explanation describes only typical retry method.
The controller may use the retry method which is not described in this manual
when an actual retry procedure is taken.
2.3.1 READ ERROR RETRY
The controller retries up to 255 times for read error while utilizing Track offset
and/or Slice Level function etc. An error count is made per each sector.
The host computer can change the error management of the controller with the
read-write error recovery parameter (Page Code 1H) of the MODE SELECT
command.
2.3.2 WRITE ERROR RETRY
The controller retries up to 255 times with the Slice Level etc.
The host computer can change the error management of the controller with the
read-write error recovery parameter (Page Code 1H) of the MODE SELECT
command.
