Hi,

Below is the SMART TapeAlert output I received after running btape 'test' and 
'speed' tests on a new IBM ULTRIUM-HH5 LTO-5 drive using brand new Fujifilm 
tape. Is it normal to see 40 (corrected) errors per few GBs of data that the 
tests have written to tape?

$ smartctl -H -l error /dev/sgtape1
smartctl 6.5 2016-01-24 r4214 [x86_64-linux-4.4.0-78-generic] (local build)
