Are you running the command: nsrjb -U 20 -j xxxxxx -S 1
every three days? How can you keep resetting the uses on the same
cleaner tape? They only have a limited number of uses. They're not like
regular data tapes that can be reused ad infinitum. Maybe I'm
misunderstanding what you said, but it sounds like you're resetting the
uses over and over again on the same cleaner tape. If so, didn't realize
that was possible.
