Dear Andy,

Neither good nor bad. You need to specify more parameters.
'man camcontrol' gives you this:
camcontrol defects [device id] [generic args] <-f format> [-P] [-G]
defects Send the SCSI READ DEFECT DATA (10) command (0x37) to the
given device, and print out any combination of: the
total
number of defects, the primary defect list (PLIST), and
the
grown defect list (GLIST).
-f format The three format options are: block, to
print
out the list as logical blocks, bfi, to
print
out the list in bytes from index format,
and
phys, to print out the list in physical
sector
format. The format argument is required.
Most
drives support the physical sector format.
Some
drives support the logical block format.
Many
drives, if they don't support the
requested for-
mat, return the data in an alternate
format,
along with sense information indicating
that the
requested data format isn't supported.
The
camcontrol utility attempts to detect
this, and
print out whatever format the drive
returns. If
the drive uses a non-standard sense code
to
report that it doesn't support the
requested
format, camcontrol will probably see the
error
as a failure to complete the request.
-G Print out the grown defect list. This is
a list
of bad blocks that have been remapped
since the
disk left the factory.
-P Print out the primary defect list.
If neither -P nor -G is specified, camcontrol will
print out
the number of defects given in the READ DEFECT DATA
header
returned from the drive.
...means that you must at least run 'camcontrol defects' with these
parameters:
1) device identifier:da0 in you case, and
2) the format you wish to get your defects report in, like '-f block'
etc.
Go on from here. Much success!
Greetings
Daniel
