TABLE 2-9-1B ERROR RECOVERY DESCRIPTIONS

Value

Description

00h

The maximum error recovery procedures available are used. If an error occurs which

is uncorrectable with the error correction codes (ECC) on the media, data transfer is

 

 

terminated with Check Condition status. The block with the error is not transferred.

 

The sense key is set to Medium Error. The information bytes give the address of the

 

block where the unrecovered error was detected. Recovered errors are not reported.

 

 

01h

Only retries of the read operation and CIRC are used (layered error correction is not

used). Only CIRC unrecovered data errors are reported. If a CIRC unrecovered data

 

 

error occurs, data transfer is terminated with Check Condition status. The block with

 

the error is not transferred. The sense key is set to Medium Error. The information

 

bytes give the address of the block where the unrecovered error was detected.

 

Recovered errors are not reported.

 

 

04h

The maximum error recovery procedures available are used. Recovered data errors

are reported. If a recovered data error occurs, data transfer is not terminated.

 

 

However, when the data transfer has completed Check Condition status is reported.

 

The sense key is set to Recovered Error. The information bytes give the address of

 

the last block where a recovered data error was detected. If a data error occurs which

 

is uncorrectable with the ECC information available on the media, data transfer is

 

terminated and Check Condition status is reported. The block with the error is not

 

transferred. The sense key is set to Medium Error. The information bytes give the

 

address of the block where the uncorrectable error was detected.

 

 

05h

Only retries of the read operation and CIRC are used (layer error correction is not

used). Recovered data errors are reported. If a recovered data error occurs, data

 

 

transfer is not terminated. However, when the data transfer has completed Check

 

Condition status is reported. The sense key is set to Recovered Error. The information

 

bytes five the address of the last block where a CIRC recovered data error was

 

detected. If an unrecovered data error occurs data transfer is terminated and Check

 

Condition status is reported. The block with the error is not transferred. The sense key

 

is set to Medium Error. the information bytes give the address of the block where the

 

unrecovered error was detected.

 

 

06h

The maximum error recovery procedures are sued. Recovered data errors are

reported. If a recovered data error occurs data transfer is terminated and Check

 

 

Condition status is reported. The block with the recovered error is not transferred.

 

The sense key is set to Recovered Error. the information bytes give the address of the

 

block where the recovered data was detected. if a data error occurs which is

 

uncorrectable with the ECC information on the medium, data transfer is terminated

 

with Check Condition status. The block with the error is not transferred. The sense

 

key is set to Medium Error. The information bytes give the address of the block

 

where the uncorrectable error was detected.

 

 

07h

Only retries of the read operation are used (layer error correction is not used). CIRC

recovered data errors are reported. If a CIRC recovered data error occurs, data

 

 

transfer is terminated with Check Condition status. The block with the recovered

 

error is not transferred. The sense key is set to Recovered Error. The information

 

bytes five the address of the block where the recovered data error was detected. If a

 

CIRC unrecovered data error occurs, data transfer is terminated with Check

 

Condition status. The block with the error is not transferred. The sense key is set to

 

Medium Error. The information bytes give the address of the block where the

 

unrecovered error was detected.
