Field Description
Media ID Random number used to identify tapes
Physical Block Number
(PBN)
Physical block location where the error occurred. There is one physical block
for each read/write head on each track. For example, if there are four
separate heads and 10 tracks, there would be 40 physical blocks on a single
point of that media.
Tape Address Location on tape in inches
Track Number Track number where error occurred
Retry Count Retry count used when reading
Logical Block Number
(LBN)
A block of data on media that includes all physical block associated with all
heads for that single point of media. For example, in the forward direction
if there are four heads and 10 tracks, five forward and five backwards,
there would be two logical blocks going backwards. Yet these two logical
blocks would equate to 10 physical blocks.
