Abstract:
Some embodiments are directed to computer program products for use with tape drives that oscillate the relative transverse position of a tape and magnetic head during seek operations (for example, by moving the magnetic head in the transverse direction). Some embodiments are directed to methods and computer program products for use with tape drives that select relative transverse position of the tape and magnetic head to counter uneven wear (for example, observed uneven wear, uneven wear predicted based on historical tape and drive usage data).

Claim (Index 5):
A computer program product (CPP) for use with a tape drive including a magnetic head with a tape facing surface, a head movement control sub-system, a tape movement control sub-system, and a tape medium that defines a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, the CPP comprising:\n a machine readable storage device; and computer code stored on the machine readable storage device, with the computer code including instructions for causing a processor(s) set to perform operations including the following:\n controlling, by the movement control sub-system, the magnetic tape to move in the longitudinal direction relative to the magnetic head such that various portions of the magnetic tape will come into close proximity to a tape facing surface of the magnetic head and the magnetic tape moves in the longitudinal direction; and \n while the magnetic tape is moving in the longitudinal direction, controlling, by the movement sub-system, the magnetic head to oscillate in the transverse direction.
