    Abstract: Techniques for reducing the time required for erasing specific data recorded on a tape medium. A specific group of records is erased without preliminarily locating the erasure end position. This is carried out by simultaneously utilizing three heads, that is, two read heads and one write head, to detect the erasure end position during data erasure. Various embodiments are applicable to tape media as well as other storage media. Various embodiments are not only applicable as a file system cooperating as a combination of hardware (H/W) and software (S/W), but also applicable in systems, such as databases, that directly use storage without an intermediary file system.

    Abstract: A tape recording apparatus in communication with a tape medium, and includes a head and a controlling unit to control the head to read and write data to the tape medium, wherein the controlling unit performs operations, comprising: determining an overwrite starting position by skipping data units whose beginning position cannot be determined until a data unit is reached having a beginning position that can be determined; and performing an overwrite operation at the overwrite starting position at the data unit whose beginning position can be determined.

    Abstract: A data storage system stores logical data object(s), each identified by a logical identifier. A control is configured to assign a unique WORM (Write Once Read Many) identifier to the logical data object, and stores the unique WORM identifier as associated with the logical identifier, in a database maintained by the control so as to be persistent. Data storage is configured to write the logical data object with a header with the unique WORM identifier. The control, in order to allow the logical data object to be accessed externally to the control, requires matching the unique WORM identifier in the header of a logical data object to the unique WORM identifier of the persistent database for the logical object. The unique WORM identifier is formed of a checksum hash value related to nonce fields comprising at least the logical identifier of the logical data object, an incrementing token, and a time stamp.

    Abstract: There is provided a high-availability duplexing or multiplexing information recorder where a process is not interrupted by a trouble of a drive or a medium. The information recorder is directed to write data instructed to be written from a host system in recording media of at least two drives. The recorder is configured to: detect an abnormality of each drive itself and an abnormality of the recording medium of each drive; cancel the writing of the data in the recording medium of the drive where an abnormality is detected or the drive having the recording medium where an abnormality is detected; and continue the writing of the data in the recording medium of the following drive without notifying any abnormality to the host system, as long as there is at least one drive where any abnormality is not detected and which has the recording medium where any abnormality is not detected.

    Abstract: A recording system of a magnetic tape drive is operated to cause one separate set of write heads to write data discontinuously to magnetic tape as received, and to save the data, and, during the same operation, to cause another separate set of write heads to rewrite data to magnetic tape in a continuous arrangement. The writing may be in parallel and simultaneous. Thus, during the same operation, and at the same time, the separate sets of the plurality of write heads, temporarily write the received data to magnetic tape so that the sender can erase its copy, and rewrite the saved data to the magnetic tape in a permanent arrangement, without waiting to complete first writing received data, to complete subsequently rewriting the data, and repeating.

    Abstract: A tape cassette of this invention is equipped with a memory capable of accommodating management information. Where the tape cassette is used, a MIC mode switch is written to a predetermined area on the magnetic tape held in the cassette. That item of information specifies whether or not the use of the management information held in the memory is mandatory upon write or read operations to or from the magnetic tape. A check is made on the consistency between the MIC mode switch read from the magnetic tape on the one hand and a result of access to the memory on the other hand. If an inconsistency is detected, that is interpreted as something fraudulent having been committed on the tape cassette. In such a case, read and write operations on the illegitimate cassette are restricted. This improves security of a tape drive system running the tape cassette.
