    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a write retry method for reducing permanent errors, and a magnetic tape device including the method.
    SOLUTION: A write control method for writing at least one data set in a predetermined distance of a tape medium in a longitudinal direction repeats a retry operation for writing data set in a tape position where a tape medium is forwarded only by a small distance when an error occurs while writing the data set. When either the repetition step reaches the predetermined number of times or the write limit time of one data set is exceeded is achieved, the tape medium is forwarded from the tape position of the data set correctly written immediately before in time to a position immediately before the forward tape position of a predetermined distance to execute a write retry operation. The number of permanent errors is reduced as compared with the conventional case within a timeout. Thus, unnecessary tape cartridge replacing requests are reduced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a following problem: data written in an ABF lap cannot be read out by being overwritten by the other data written in the ABF lap or data written in a normal lap. SOLUTION: In a controller 16 of a tape drive, a buffer managing part 42 detects the occurrence of flash, a channel input/output part 43 writes first data in a ABF lap of a normal direction at the occurrence of flash through a write-in head, and writes second data in a second ABF lap of the reverse direction at the occurrence of flash, after that, the part 43 writes first data and second data in a first normal lap of a normal direction adjacent to the first ABF lap. Among them, when the second data is written in the second ABF lap, an offset discriminating part 44 controls the write-in head so that the write-in head is offset to a direction of a second normal lap of a reverse direction used next to the first normal lap.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accelerate reading out of a specific kind of data from among a plurality of kinds of data with different formats.
    SOLUTION: In a controller 16 of a tape drive, a command processing unit 41 receives a request for reading out old data behind EOD of new data; a channel input/output unit 43 receives data read out with a read head in response to the request; and a buffer managing unit 42 receives this data. A header information determining unit 44 determines whether this data includes header information of the old data. If it is determined that this data includes the header information of the old data, a data set determining unit 45 determines whether a data set is extractable from this data. If it is determined that the data set is not extractable, a move signal output unit 47 outputs a signal for moving the read head in a direction of the new data.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information recording device capable of performing retrial having a position shifted during overwriting of data set written in a recording medium.
    SOLUTION: To enable identification based on a writing order number of a data set and the number of writing times (WP) of the data set of the number, data sets are sequentially written in a recording medium. By using a data set written in the recording medium as an old data set, the old data set is substantially overwritten with a data of a new number. A write control means is provided for executing the overwriting means of the old data set by using a value having WP added as a new WP, when an error occurs during overwriting, in a position where the recording medium is shifted forward from the position of the old data set of the recording medium. A predetermined distance is a distance where overwriting of a part of the old data set with a new data set inhibits error correction.
