Also, the size of the range where access is permitted, specified in this command in the "Block count" field in the CDB, specifies the number of logical data blocks from that starting point. However, when zero is specified in the "Block count" field, access to the final logical data block of the specified data space (User Space or CE Space), with the logical data block specified in the "Logical block address" field as the starting point, is permitted. Figure 3.12 shows the method for specification of the range where access is permitted in this command.
