Hello, colleagues,

Could anyone give me a clue? It seems to me that when my DDS2 drive
(SONY
SDT-S5000) encounters a read error (in fact ADSM server reports 'too
many
read errors') the server cannot read this tape past this point. I
talked to
DDS guys in our labs and they say that DDS drive itself is quite
capable of
reading data past this condition and place. So according to them it
appears
to be the software problem. So should I have a drop out in the
beginning of
a volume - all volume's data are lost?

Auditing this volume just removes all the files past the errorneous
one.

I have OS/2 ADSM server v 1.2.0.9.

regards,
Anton Gubarkov, storage manager at SONY CIS, Moscow
