Make sure IBM has removed the cleaner blocks from the drives.
If tapes are being eaten, I'd say it is probably poorly adjusted pressures
in the drive somewhere or something isn't in proper alignment BUT I'm NOT an
IBM technician so I really shouldn't say...
In 7 years across 7 ATL's with 7 year old tapes (for the most part) we are
still going strong !
In all we've only lost somewhere between 10-15 tapes to total destruction
(so 1-2 a year out of some 15,000)

We have all four drives chewing up tapes on regular intervals. To make a
rough estimate I would say that this happens once or sometimes twice a
month and all drives are effected in the same way. I have no idea if this
is the normal wear due to lots of mounts.
We always check out the tape which caused the problem and in most cases we
have a technician change parts of the drive or even the whole drive.
The age of our tapes is different. We exchanged a lot of them to new ones,
but also still have tapes which are 3, maybe 4 years old.
