I am developing an application (C++ on Linux) that produces a big amount of data (over 200 Mbytes per hour). The PC will be installed in a boat, so there will be some violent movements during the writing .Data's reliability is very very important and I want to store it directly on a Tape Drive.
>Issue 1: The sequential storage implies that the loss of a block of data leads to the loss of the remaining file's data.Does it exist any open source aplication that provides error control for sequential storage in a tape? >Issue 2: Another idea is to write the blocks of data in a buffer and send it to the tape when it is full, with a previous byte mixing that it will be inverted in reading. In the case of a fatal error occurs with the tape(it is phisical damaged) this mixing provides a distribution of the big unrecoverable error in many little recoverable errors in diferents blocks of data. Does it exist any implementation of this idea or something similar? _______________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
