Byte 4
The
allocation length specifies the maximum number of bytes
the initiator has allocated for returned sense data. The drive
returns the number of bytes specified by the allocation length up
to 22 bytes. If the allocation length is set to zero, no sense data
is returned.
This is not an error.
3.4.4 Format Unit command (04
H
)
The Format Unit command assures that the medium is formatted so that
all of the addressable data blocks can be accessed. In addition, the
medium can be certified and control structures may be created for the
management of the medium and defects.
If the specified logical unit is reserved, the Format Unit command is
rejected with a reservation conflict status. Extent reservations are not
supported. See Section 3.4.11 on page 51 for more information about
reservations.
The initiator can specify (or not specify) sectors to be reallocated during
the formatting process.
