5.3
Overwriting 320-Formatted Cartridges in
a 220 Drive
This section describes what happens when a 320-formatted cartridge is inserted
into an SDLT 220 drive and the drive is “instructed” to overwrite the cartridge with
a 220 format.
N
OTE
: This discussion applies only to SDLT 220 drives
(firmware revision V45 and higher).
When a 320-formatted cartridge is overwritten in a 220 drive, all 320-formatted
data on that cartridge is lost forever. This includes any future attempt to space past
the 220-formatted data into the old 320-formatted data in an attempt to perform
heroic data recovery.
For more detailed information about how the tape drive responds (internally), refer
to
Section A.6, “Overwriting 320-Formatted SDLT Tape Cartridges” on page A-8
.
