We were waiting for a four year old who refused to go to sleep. He was waiting for "clatter"!

Some drive types report very high temporary errors (QIC, 8mm), but the error correction capabilities take care of that. There was a document I saw from IBM a few years ago listing what were acceptable temporary error rates for different drive types, but I can't locate it right now. ...Neil rob@dekko.com Sent by: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com 2002/12/24 08:16 Please respond to midrange-l To: midrange-l@midrange.com cc: Subject: RE: 25GB tape I used to think the 25gb tapes were great. We had someone go from 45 minutes to do a SAVSYS to 4. However, we are getting a load of write errors. On the brand new tape drive from yesterday, (after running a cleaning tape through it six times). Volume ---Temporary Errors--- --------K Bytes-------- ID Read Write Read Written 1FRI12 0 9383 11 13895287 We don't seem to get any errors on our 3590's or 3581's. Perhaps IBM follows the philosophy of "Money talks - (expletive deleted) walks." IBM is coming in again today to replace the drive. And we will get them here on a daily basis if need be until they get the (expletive deleted) working.
