There's something seriously wrong. Maybe it's 3 minutes to
1) mount the tape
2) spin forward to the point where business can begin

If your LTO mounts alone are taking 3 minutes, you need to have your system
looked at, sir. Also, keep in mind that 3570 tapes held, tops, 20 GB. I've
seen LTOs that hold as much as 240GB.
