SCSI Commands
5-164 Quantum DLT 8000 Tape System
READ BLOCK LIMITS Command (05h) (continued)
The READ BLOCK LIMITS data shown below is sent during the DATA IN phase of the
command. The command does not reflect the currently selected block size, only the
available limits. MODE SENSE is the command that returns the current block size.

Field Name Description
Granularity (SCSI-3 Only) This field indicates the supported block size granularity. The DLT
8000 tape drive supports all block sizes n such that n minus the
minimum block length limit is a multiple of 2
x
(where
x
is the value in
the Granularity bits), and n is greater than or equal to the Minimum
Block Length Limit and less than or equal to the Maximum Block Size
Limit. For the DLT 8000 system, the content of the Granularity field is
1 (since block sizes must be a multiple of 2; 2
1
= 2).
For backward compatibility, the DLT 8000 will process requests that
do not meet Granularity criteria, except for Odd-byte Multiple Block
Fixed Block WRITE commands when connected to a Wide (16-bit)
SCSI bus.
Maximum Block Length The value in this field indicates the maximum block size. The tape
drive supports a maximum block length of 16,777,214 (16 MB-2) for
10, 15,20, 35, or 40 GB format.
Minimum Block Length The value in this field indicates the minimum block size. The tape
drive supports a minimum block length of 2 bytes.
