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 4 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 4 heads and 10 tracks 5 forward and
5 backwards, there would be two logical blocks going backwards.
Yet these two logical blocks would equate to 10 physical blocks.
