The site tech had prepassed the tape and left it on the drive unmounted. Previous operator mounted the tape and reserved the drive. The observe file has autocallocate set to off which explains why recording started up on drive 1 even though it had been reserved. 0815 *KP bad readback drive 1 tracks 2,3,6,7,10,11, 14513 14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31 all other sites ok 0825 *KP bad readback drive 1 tracks 2,3,6,7,10,11 14513 14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31 all other sites ok 0835 *KP bad readback drive 1 (see above for track list) 14513 all other sites ok 0840 *KP bad readback drive 1 (see above for track list) 14513 all other sites ok 0844 %LA wea: raining 1016 End.
