Samsung ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB How to disabel G-list

[gameboybin]

Hi everyone. I am having trouble data extracting with PC3000 of Samsung ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB

The drive came to me knocking- I already change 1 set of heads. H1,H2,H3 all mapped good except for H0
- Drives was mapping smoothly until it reaches a bad sector. The drive keeps hanging and BSY upon trying to save bad sector into G-List
- If i put DE to map it will hang. However pressing and holding next to read sector by sector the drive runs smoothly
Can anyone guide me to disable G-List so the drives stops hanging???
Many Thanks!

Can anyone help walk me through disabling g-list??

I don't think you can -or at least I don't know how. If you find a way please post it, I have a ST1000LM025 doing the same after taking 5 sets of heads to read, and I just need 4GB more from it.

The most stable settings I could find in DE are block size 1, UDMA-33, Timeouts ( 15K,500,8K,2K,10K), Soft, Hard and Power. This gives plenty of time for the drive to do it's business after a failed read and repowers if it runs on too long. You might also want to check/clean the platter surface/ heads. You might also want to look at mapping by head chain and jumping to the next after 1 or 2 errors.

i use a bunch of fw patches when cloning these, one of them is for disable glist add...

Nothing directly in PC3000 though is there?

Yeah my settings are exactly the same as yours

I think we can disable it through terminal and SA modules. But yeah. I still have no clue how

[Lardman]

For what it's worth. USB stablizer also handles hardware resets better with the original pcb on mine than using a sata board.

@gameboybin, can you upload a resource dump?

[fzabkar]

If you can upload the full terminal log, that might tell us which SA modules are loaded during start-up. One of those might have the relevant configuration parameter(s).
