Reminds me of the original STK RVA, before IBM got involved with the microcode. The box would crash, and all of the data disappeared. And there was no way to recover it.

We use 'STK' virtual tape VSMx. After a system crash of some sort, we got the ubiquitous warning to 'run a tape audit'. We've seen this message for years. Somehow it was overlooked in this case, and no 'audit' was run. We started getting similar errors for mismatching tape labels. Damndest thing. We finally ran the STK tape audit. The problem disappeared totally. Maybe the weirdest thing I ever saw. . .
