A408: Directory Write 5
Directory write provides information as to why the DLT tape drive was
not successful in writing a directory to the media. If a drive fails to write a
good directory the next drive to load the tape may log an A407 Event, and
it may have excessively long response times to a space or locate SCSI
command.
