Abstract:
In one general embodiment, a method includes calculating a differential position value based on readback signals from at least two servo readers of a magnetic head reading servo tracks of a magnetic recording tape. The differential position value is compared to a previously-calculated differential position value. An action is performed in response to determining that the difference between the differential position value and the previously-calculated differential position value is in a predefined range. In another general embodiment, an apparatus includes a magnetic head having at least two servo readers, and a controller in communication with the servo readers. The controller is configured to detect a sudden change in a width of a magnetic recording tape based on a differential position value derived from relatively more current servo readback data and a second differential position value derived from relatively older servo readback data.

Claim (Index 16):
A computer program product for detecting tape damage, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a controller to cause the controller to perform a method comprising:\n calculating, by the controller, a differential position value based on readback signals from at least two servo readers of a magnetic head reading servo tracks of a magnetic recording tape; comparing, by the controller, the differential position value to a previously-calculated differential position value; and performing, by the controller, an action in response to determining that the difference between the differential position value and the previously-calculated differential position value is in a predefined range.
