SCSI Write Commands - Write Long (10)

Write Long (10)

The Write Long command allows for Error Correcting Code (ECC). The data sent from the initiator will include ECC fields as well as real data. The Byte Transfer Length field tells the target how much data will need to be returned when the data is subsequently retrieved with a Read Long command. The CDB structure is:

bit→
↓byte		 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 Operation code = 3Fh
1 COR_DIS WR_UNCOR PBLOCK Reserved Obsolete
2 LBA

Famous quotes containing the words write and/or long:

    “To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking—and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.”
    —Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)

    “How long she stayed I cannot tell;
    But when she felt this perfidy,
    She marched across the floor of hell;
    And all the damned stood up to see.”
    —John Davidson (1857–1909)
