[Veritas-bu] Maximum mounts for an LTO-1 tape

I agree, those numbers don't make any sense. A quick google search turned
up this doc:
http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/tds/pdf/LTO_Ultrium_Drive_Data_QA
.pdf
which quotes 25,000 mounts without problems.

Bull. The drives will wear out before the tapes will.
The tapes are equally good at 10, 100, or 1000 mounts in my brief 4 year
experience with LTO1. We have a few hundred tapes mounted on 4 or 5
drives 24x7.
cheers, wayne
