Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting abnormal operation in a magnetic disk file which comprises reading data for each head and each track to obtain a readback signal. The readback signal is read from a predetermined area of each track on a disk that is not normally rewritten during normal operation of the system. The amplitude of the signal read from one track is compared with the amplitude of the signals read from other tracks, and an alarm condition when the comparison indicates a variation which exceeds a predetermined level. Corrective action can be taken in response to the alarm condition prior to an actual failure condition in the magnetic disk file.
