Hello, I just found a way to partially recover data on a defective 3590 cartridge. Move data and audit volume aborted when processing a specific file. Unfortunately, this was very near to the beginning of the tape. So I was afraid to lose about 10 GB of data.
I started del vol discard=yes. Then I got a new idea. The discard is a background process which can be cancelled. I cancelled it and ran audit volume. Everything was fine because the offendig file was deleted! Unfortunately, 17000 files and 1.7 GB are lost because the idea came too late. I should have cancelled the process much earlier. In case you have the same problem I hope you will remember this mail and cancel the discard process earlier. Or is there an even better method?
