I'm kinda curious... I've noticed a few message on this subject -- so I went to the doc....
The doc seems to indicate there are some circumstances where removing the tape with the appropriate command and options and then adding it back will result in the files on the tape becoming available again... But, of course, tapes are not 100% (nothing is), so no guarantee. Perhaps the rigamarole of removing and adding back is compensating for software glitch (bug!) -- Logically seems it shouldn't be necessary -- either the tape is readable or not -- the system should be able to do retries and error correction without removing -- but worth a shot. (I'm a gpfs guy, but not an LTFS/EE/tape guy)
