Hi Zoltan, Just for info (and to avoid buying possibly weak hardware), what type of library are you speaking about ? Is it your IBM 3583-L72 ? Cheers.

I started the AUDIT and it has already flagged 2-tapes within the first 5-minutes. I seem to have a bad drive, again. This LTO2 library has been a royal pain since we got it. Already replaced 1-PS, 1-DRIVE and internal board and now another drive. Considering it only has 2-drives, that is a pretty bad reliability record !

Once I got all the tapes cleaned off that were flagging the corrupted index, I then monitored each time I got another corruption and it was always the same drive.

I received the following error about my LTO2 tape: 11/17/2004 4:38:01 PM ANR8950W Device /dev/rmt3, volume 090046 has issued the following Warning TapeAlert: The tape directory on the tape cartridge just unloaded has been corrupted. File search performance will be degraded. The tape directory can be rebuilt by reading all the data. I was copying the contents to another tape since a previous error caused this tape to go into UNAVAILABLE status. This tape is now empty and scratched. Is there something special I need to do to this tape or will it automagically rebuild the "tape directory" when this tape gets reused ? ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
