В данной статье объясняется команда m уровня T. Format Partition Availability: уровень T , команда 'm'.

Формат команды:

m[Partition],[FormatOpts],[DefectListOpts],[MaxWrRetryCnt],[MaxRdRetryCnt],[MaxEccTLevel],[MaxCertifyTrkRewrites],[ValidKey],[DataPattern]

Данная команда форматирует указанную партицию.

Входные параметры:

• 0 - Partition Number. Параметр указывает какую из партиций форматировать. Обычно это: 0 или 1. По умолчанию: 0.

  0 = User Partition
  1 = System Partition
  99 = Set format corrupt state
  Тип: беззнаковое 8-и битное число
  		

• 1 - Format Options. Этот параметр, каждый бит которого определяет следующие опции:

  Биты с 31 по 7: не используются

  Bit 6: Disable Track Re-write for Data Sync Time-out Errors. Если этот бит равен 1, the the Format Partition command will not perform track re-write operations for an unrecovered data sync time-out error.

  Примечание: This feature can be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Use the quick help to determine whether your code supports this feature.

  Bit 5: Enable SeaCOS XF Space Format. This bit is only valid when the User Partition is selected. If this bit is equal to 1, the the Format Partition command will only format SeaCOS Extended File (XF) space.

  Примечание: This feature can be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Use the quick help to determine whether your code supports this feature.

  Bit 4: Enable Zone Re-format Skipping. If this bit is equal to 1, then the Format Partition command will enable the zone re-format skipping mode during the format operation. With this mode enabled, the format operation will not re-format a zone if grown defects were found in the zone.

  Примечание: This feature can be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Use the quick help to determine whether your code supports this feature.

  Bit 3: Enable Event-based Format Logging. If this bit is equal to 1, then the Format Partition command will display information about error events that occur during the format operation. This information will be displayed as interim status as these events occur.

  Примечание: This feature can be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Use the quick help to determine whether your code supports this feature.

  Bit 2: Disable User Partition Certify. This bit is only valid when the User Partition is selected. If this bit is equal to 1, media certification and defect deallocation will be disabled.

  Bit 1: Disable User Partition Format. This bit is only valid when the User Partition is selected. If this bit is equal to 1, the User Partition sectors will not be written with a constant data pattern.

  Bit 0: Corrupt User Partition Primary Defects. This bit is only valid when the User Partition is selected. If this bit is equal to 1, the primary defective sectors will be corrupted.

If there is no Active Error Log or there are no R/W-related entries in the Active Error Log, then this bit will be ignored.

  Bit 1: Process Primary Defect Lists. This bit is only valid when the User Partition is selected. If this bit is equal to 1, the the Primary Defect Lists will be used when creating the defect list to be used by the format operation.
