When using IBM's streaming tapedrive and sytos software, my backups are
working properly but verification of the tapes is consistantly find
problems...usually such as 2 blocks being uncorrect.  This is a new
drive tested with multiple tapes, so its either a real hardware problem
or it is "normal" behavior.  Does anyone else use one of these and have
clean verifies?
