摘要： A method and system are provided for dynamically shortening a number of error correction codewords to correspond to an amount of user data to be recorded on a recording medium. The system and method determine in advance that the number of bytes of user data will only fill a portion of a codeword matrix, and automatically shortens the size of ECC word segments to match the actual user data fill. This allows an ECC interleave to be completed with only a partial fill of the matrix, thereby reducing the required number of recording passes and associated processing time.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and data processing system for recovering corrupted data in a multi-track storage medium, such as magnetic tape, using a Reed-Solomon or other similar error correcting code system, is disclosed. A correction history keeping a tally of actual corrected instances of corruption in the storage medium is established. The “N” tracks requiring the greatest number of actual error corrections are designated as erasures. Any errors in the remaining tracks must be found on an individual basis before being corrected.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for writing data to a magnetic media. A first frequency is written on a first track on the magnetic media on a first track width. A second frequency is written on the first track in which a combination of the first frequency and the second frequency encodes a bit of data on the first track. An erase pattern is created on a second track on the magnetic media, the second track being adjacent to the first track in which the bit of data on the first track is readable by a tape drive system having a second track width wider than the track width of the first track.

摘要： A tape drive and method of identifying write velocity during reading are provided. When a track is being read, a lead-in code of the data signal is processed prior to determining the data stream. The lead-in code identifies the velocity with which the track data were written. The equalization/detection channel is adjusted based on the identified velocity to compensate for write channel transfer function variation. The lead-in code is coded in a way that is reasonably immune to write channel transfer function variation such that the lead-in code is comprehended prior to adjusting the equalization/detection channel.

摘要： An asynchronous method for locating individual blocks of data in a tape drive, without having to read the blocks of data is provided. The invention comprises placing an ID mark adjacent to the data blocks and inter-block gaps on the tape. The ID mark contains a small amount of information about the next respective data block on the tape. The ID mark is encoded such that the same detection mechanism that detects the inter-block gap can also retrieve the ID mark information, without having to process the entire block of data associated with a particular ID mark. The ID mark is symmetrical such that it can be detected and decoded in the forward and backward direction, allowing the tape drive to find a desired block of data by searching either forward or backward, even when the magnetic tape uses a unidirectional data format.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于在磁带驱动器中定位各个数据块的异步方法，而不必读取数据块。本发明包括将ID标记与数据块相邻并且在块上设置块间隙。 ID标记包含关于磁带上下一个相应数据块的少量信息。 ID标记被编码，使得检测块间间隙的相同检测机制也可以检索ID标记信息，而不必处理与特定ID标记相关联的整个数据块。 ID标记是对称的，使得其可以在向前和向后方向上被检测和解码，从而允许磁带驱动器通过向前或向后搜索来寻找期望的数据块，即使当磁带使用单向数据格式时。

摘要： A system and method for recovering from write errors during writing of a moving storage medium suspend write current while allowing the storage medium to continue moving. The system and method continue to format data for writing while the write current is suspended and resequence the data for subsequent storage. Information is recorded to distinguish previously written data from current data with error correction pointers adjusted accordingly. Write errors may be detected in a track following streaming tape system based on data errors from a read back check or based on positioning errors of a read/write head servo system, for example. By allowing the storage medium to continue moving through the error event, the system and method improve speed, capacity utilization, and throughput of the storage and retrieval process.
