Just cleaned it the other day, but I can check that. I manually clean

is a feature that can be set on the library itself. If it's not set, I
would think that it wouldn't know unless the drive issued a problem, but
I cleaned it yesterday, so that shouldn't be the case. However, if the
library was set to clean, and it couldn't and it realized it had been
more than the allowed time since the last cleaning then maybe it might
set it read only. I'm gonna place a call to tech support on the drive
and see what they say.


Did the drives need cleaning? I have never needed to clean an LTO drive.
 Pro-active cleaning with LTO is not a good idea.
