Usage: sg_reassign [--address=A,A...] [--dummy] [--eight=0|1] [--grown]
[--help] [--hex] [--longlist=0|1] [--primary] [--verbose]
[--version] DEVICE
where:
--address=A,A...|-a A,A... comma separated logical block addresses
one or more, assumed to be decimal
--address=-|-a - read stdin for logical block addresses
--dummy|-d prepare but do not execute REASSIGN BLOCKS command
--eight=0|1
-e 0|1 force eight byte (64 bit) lbas when 1,
four byte (32 bit) lbas when 0 (def)
--grown|-g fetch grown defect list length, don't reassign
--help|-h print out usage message
--hex|-H print response in hex (for '-g' or '-p')
--longlist=0|1
-l 0|1 use 4 byte list length when 1, safe to ignore
(def: 0 (2 byte list length))
--primary|-p fetch primary defect list length, don't reassign
--verbose|-v increase verbosity
--version|-V print version string and exit
Perform a SCSI REASSIGN BLOCKS command (or READ DEFECT LIST)
Options (12)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
--address, -a A | comma separated logical block addresses one or more, assumed to be decimal | help + man |
--eight 0|1 | | help |
-e 0|1 | when value is 1 then it sets the 'LONGLBA' flag in the command indicating that the addresses in the associated parameter block are 8 byte quantities. | help + man |
--longlist 0|1 | | help |
-l 0|1 | use 4 byte list length when 1, safe to ignore (def: 0 (2 byte list length)) | help + man |
-d, --dummy | prepare for but do not execute the SCSI REASSIGN BLOCKS command. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-g, --grown | use the SCSI READ DEFECT DATA (10) command to determine the number of elements in the "grown defect list". (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-h, --help | output the usage message then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-H, --hex | print response in hex (for -g, --grown, -p or --primary). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-p, --primary | use the SCSI READ DEFECT DATA (10) command to determine the number of elements in the "primary defect list" which is established during the manufacturing process. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-v, --verbose | increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output). (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-V, --version | print the version string and then exit. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
