We have recently installed two 3494 libraries utilising 3590 K media.

I am experiencing media failures (I/O errors) for about 1 in 10 media
when initializing with label libv. Some of the media does successfully
initialize on the second or third attempt but this does not fill me with
confidence.

I have even had a situation were a tape was torn then wrapped itself
around the internals of the drive when the mechanism snagged on a very
poor splice on the tape.

My question ....... is anyone else noticing problems with K media.  Yes
or No, either way I am interested to know so I can see if there is a
correlation between the media vendor (IE IBM, Immation BASF etc).

Thanks
