Data block count
This field specifies the total number of logical data blocks (the block length is
specified in “Data block length”) allocated in the user space on the disk media. The
maximum logical block address is a value with 1 subtracted from the value in this
field.
The “Data block count” has an intimate relationship with the specifications on Pages
3 and 4.
If the block descriptor only is changed, the “Number of Cylinders” on Page 4 is added
to this number of specified data blocks and is set in the number of actually utilizable
cylinders (not reported in rounded figures), including the “Number of Replacement
Tracks/Drive” and “Number of Replacement Sectors/Zone” component in Page 3, is
reported. If this number of cylinders exceeds the maximum number of cylinders that
can be used in the user space, the “Nnumber of data blocks” is rounded to the
maximum number of utilizable data blocks (reported in rounded figures).
When zero is specified in the “Number of Data Blocks”, or when the block descriptor
is not specified, the total number of blocks that can be used, with the “Number of
Replacement Tracks/Drive” and “Number of Replacement Sectors/Zone” component
in Page 3 subtracted from the “Number of Cylinders” on Page 4, is set in the “Number
of Data Blocks” (not reported in rounded figures).
•
Data block length
This field specifies the byte length of a logical data block on the disk media.
The logical data block length and physical data block length are the same in the IDD.
The data block length can be specified at 512 to 528 bytes (4-byte boundary).
If less than 512 bytes is specified in this field, the IDD performs rounding processing
(there is a rounding processing report), setting the data block length at 512 bytes. If
more than 528 bytes is specified, rounding processing is performed (there is a
rounding processing report), setting the data block length at 528 bytes. If the block
length is not 4-byte boundary, rounding processing is performed to change 4-byte
boundary.
If zero is specified in this field, the value specified in bytes 12 and 13 (Data byte
length/sector) of Page 3 (Format Parameter) is set. At that time, if Page 3 is not
specified at the same time, the current value in Page 3 is used.
If the value set in this field differs from the value specified in bytes 12 and 13 (Data
byte length/sector) of Page 3 (Format Parameter), the data block length in the block
descriptor is set.
