RE: [Scsirastools-developers] Question about defect lists.

[Cress, A. R <and...@in...>]

Stanislav,

The sgdefects utility will retrieve the count of bad sectors by default,
and will also output the list of values for each sector in the log file
if the option "-v" is used.
This does only apply to SCSI disks.  I don't know if this same function
is possible for IDE disks, but SCSI disks do have many more support &
management functions than do IDE disks.

I was targeting SCSI disks for these utilities, with the assumption that
those who are most interested in high availability and server management
would opt for SCSI disks over IDE disks.  However, I know that some
bladed systems have laptop-style IDE disks, due to the form-factor. =20

Dear developers,

Permit me to ask you a question which concerns the scsirastools
marginally.
I need to get access to the bad sectors after remapping process which
addresses, I've learned by now, are in such tables as p-list and g-list=20
but I still don't
know if my task is practicable. I found only the ATA standards and=20
low-level
commands for the hdd and no other information. So during the searching
I've come out to your project. As I understand to get defect list is=20
possible
for the scsi devices but would it be for the ordinary ide?
Thank you.

Regards,
Stanislav
