Byte 02, Bit 0 - DCR (Disable Correction)
The DCR bit is not supported by the CTS. The valid value is 0.
Byte 03 - Read Retry Count
The Read Retry Count field specifies how many times the CTS should
attempt its read recovery algorithms before an unrecoverable read
error is reported. If the CTS fails to reread the block after this number
of attempts, it reports an unrecoverable read error. You can set the
Read Retry Count to any value between 00h and 0Bh. The default
value is 0Bh.
As soon as the CTS encounters an unreadable data block, the value for
the Read Retry Count is automatically set as follows:
If you specified 00h, the Read Retry Count is not changed. The
CTS attempts no rereads before reporting an unrecoverable read
error.
If you specified 01h, the Read Retry Count is not changed. The
CTS attempts one reread at normal speed before reporting an
unrecoverable read error.
If you specified a value from 02h to 0Bh, the Read Retry Count is
set to 02h. The CTS attempts one reread at normal speed and one
reread at slow speed before reporting an unrecoverable read error.
Notes:
In MODE SENSE data, if you receive a value from 03h through
0Bh, the CTS has not had to attempt any rereads yet. As soon as
the CTS encounters an unreadable data block, it changes the Read
Retry Count to 02h.
If you are reading a tape that may have been written without
retries (see “Write Retry Count” on the following page), issue a
MODE SENSE command and check the value returned for the
WWR (Write Without Retries) bit in the Vendor Unique
Parameters Page 2. If the WWR bit is set to 1, specify 00h for this
field; otherwise, specify a non-zero value.
