Jeff, I thought about that, but I don't see anything in the error log to indicate that. Sorry, should have mentioned it in my original post. Here's the log: Volume --Temporary Error-- ----Perm Error----- ------K Bytes------ ID Read Write Read Write Read Written 0405A1 0 1 0 0 76935176 38467617 0405A2 0 0 0 0 81463110 40731584 0405A3 0 0 0 0 56028306 28014173 0405A4 0 1 0 0 39896146 19948087 0405A5 0 0 0 0 64702780 32670319 0405B1 0 0 0 0 40 76708610 0405B2 0 0 0 0 39 80049875 0405B3 0 0 0 0 30 57093000 0405B4 0 0 0 0 22 38160616 0405B5 0 0 0 0 32 66396710 H0CC2D 0 0 0 0 2 616393 Note that A1-A5 is the original set B1-H0CC2D is the second set. Also note that I did the DUPTAP twice, just to make sure the need for the sixth tape wasn't cause by cosmic rays or something. So, the written on the second set (except the last H0CC2D) should be about twice the written on the first set. And read on the first ought to be about twice what was written to the first set. Here's the calcs: Write(A) x 2 - Read(A) Write(A) x 2 - Write(B) ID 0405A1 58 0405A2 58 0405A3 40 0405A4 28 0405A5 637858 0405B1 226624 0405B2 1413293 0405B3 -1064654 0405B4 1735558 0405B5 -1056072 H0CC2D Don't know how what "about" and "ought" really means in this case. You'd think the numbers would be almost exact right? The numbers look funny for the original tape 5 not to mention all of the second set. Anybody with more info?
