That is vendor dependent and well only return the pending sector if the pending sector fails for most vendors. It may fix the sector if it could read it. This is also a full surface read, so not a direct path to get the LBA's that are in the pending list. The software that comes with a PC3000 can get this list from most drives, but it knows a lot of vendor specific, and often even undocumented commands. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
