Oh, good one. I remember back in the olden days with 3420's shared between two systems (no MIA, no tape-sharing software); if CPUA was using the drive and someone accidently varied the drive online to CPUB the job running on CPUA kept writing to the device even though it had been un-wound. Worst part was that the job on CPUA might not even abend if the operator saw their mistake and cancelled the job on CPUB before it tried to write any data. CPUA kept writing data without knowing that the device had been un-wound. So we had to actually cancel the job and restart it; of course we had to use a checkpoint restart from before that specific volume had even been mounted yet so we lost a lot of time.
