Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining a damaged area of a magnetic tape loaded in a tape drive, according to one embodiment, includes: determining a first error location on a magnetic tape where a first error occurred in response to experiencing the first error. Moreover, the method includes determining one or more areas on the magnetic tape to be examined. The one or more areas are determined using a predetermined algorithm which incorporates the first error location. Independent of a read and/or write operation, relative motion is induced between a tape head and the magnetic tape such that the tape head is positioned adjacent to each of the respective one or more areas in turn. Furthermore, each of the one or more areas having a respective number of measured servo errors which exceeds a threshold value is identified as a damaged area of the magnetic tape.

Claim (Index 6):
The computer-implemented method as recited in  claim 4 , comprising:\n in response to identifying all of the one or more areas as damaged areas, performing the following process:\n determining one or more areas on a wrap of the magnetic tape to be examined, wherein the wrap is located in a different data band than a data band containing the first error location, wherein the one or more areas on the wrap are determined using the predetermined algorithm; \n independent of a read and/or write operation, inducing relative motion between the tape head and the magnetic tape such that the tape head is positioned adjacent to each of the respective one or more areas on the wrap in turn; \n using the tape head to measure a number of servo errors that occur in each of the respective one or more areas on the wrap; and \n identifying each of the one or more areas on the wrap having a respective number of measured servo errors which exceeds the threshold value as a damaged area of the magnetic tape.
