2. Using additional uncompressed “filler” data, create a second
pad after the directory pad. The minimum size for the second
pad is 12 MBytes. This pad allows room for the erase head
position and the EOD mark written when you rewind the tape
after updating the master directory.
Note: For best results, use 1 KByte (or smaller) fixed-length
blocks to create the second pad.
3. Write a long filemark after the 12-MByte pad. This filemark
provides a clear separation between the pad and data areas.
4. Issue a READ POSITION command to determine the tape’s
current position. This will be the starting location for the first file
in the first data set (DS 1).
In the initiator’s memory, store the information returned for the
First Block Location field (bytes 04 through 07) of the READ
POSITION data. This information will be used later to update
the directory for the data set (DIR 1).
