Re: BRMS nightly save time differences

High sequence numbers (57793) resulting when using append was the

I broke the media set, had Friday night's save start at sequence 1.
Sat and Sun appended as normal.
All three save times reduced by 20 minutes, equaling the once a week
save.

Why would a high sequence number make a difference, it's only an
index in a BRMS database?
Maybe a question for BRMS support.


Physical positioning [of the tape heads] on the sequential [not random] media? Positioning to the physical row data, irrespective of sequential vs random\keyed I/O, would be unlikely to increase so precipitously; surely the time required for DB row-positioning could be measured in [milli]seconds.? Easy enough to test a CHKTAP specifying the larger sequence number, then another with a small sequence number, optionally with a rewind in between so as not to falsely inflate the timing of the latter.
