Hello list,
When we thinking about the reliability of a tape drive technology,
vendors may say how many MTBF is, how customer experience this?
For tape drivers used today(3590 any model,3592 J1A,9840,etc), how long will
you ever use it to work?
For example,12 hours to backup/restore

I believe that FINREVERSAL is used when an APAR closes FIN but then one or
most customers requests that it be fixed in the current release and IBM
agrees to do that. IBM documents this by opening a new APAR and marking
