Burak - check out the MOUNTRetention parameter on your device class. The
default is 60 minutes which means ADSM will eject it 1 hour after it
becomes idle. You can set this to any value 0-9999. I know back in my
RS/6000 days we used to recommend customers not to leave tapes like DAT or
8mm in the drive overnight or all weekend as it might cause damage to
either the tape or the drive but things may be more robust now.
