I found how long LTO2 media *really* is when having to manually unwind a
broken tape that was wound up on in the drive.  609 meters is a long way
when pulling out of a broken drive/cartridge.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] LTO 3 tapes snapping in LTO3 drives


 
Hi all

Not really looking for any solution on this one, just to see if anyone
has experienced issues of LTO3 cartridges phsyically snapping in drives
when performing backups.

The tape drives are HP LTO3, fibre attached running firmware M66s, the
tape drives are installed into a STK SL8500 silo.

Thanks in advance

Jon
