Anybody have any bad experience with tapes breaking in 3575 libraries?  We have 
6 C-XL drives with both blue and red tapes and both break.

When I started here over 4 months ago I found that we were loosing maybe 2 
tapes a week.  I opened cases and all were being broken cleanly at the 
midpoint.  I tracked it down via *SM actlog to apparently one of the 6 drives.  
IBM replaced drive and the problem went away.

Now we have lost one tape about every 2 weeks in last 6 weeks, apparently from 
different drives.  (After first incident I personally examined every tape in 
and out of library to eliminate any broken tapes in system.)

I have gotten tapes replaced from IBM, but want to know if this is peculiar to 
us or if anyone else has seen this problem.

Thanks,
