I got the exact same response after updating to Symphony 6.04. Would be interested to find out what the solution is.

Here’s what we were able to solve with help from Discovery. We’re on Mac systems.
mkltfs -d 0 -f -r size=10k/name=metadata.xml
mkdir /mnt/[LTO NAME]
ltfs /mnt/[LTO NAME]This prepares the LTO to look for metadata.xml and put it in the index partition. You just copy the metadata.xml file along with all the other data and it will parse that one out. A good poor-man’s test to see if it’s in the index partition is to write it last. Then load the LTO and open the xml file. If it’s in the index, it will load right away. If it’s not, the tape will have to hunt for awhile to find it.

It’s part of Discovery’s new LTO specs for digital media storage. They’ve basically pointed me to HP’s manuals which list all of the options, but I’m unclear on the exact syntax to get the xml file to the index partition of the LTO. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to give me any verification that’s it’s written the file I want there and there doesn’t seem to be any way to check afterwards (at least not on our end.)

We’ll uprez to DNxHD 220 to online the final version to XDCam 50Mbit and then to HDCam for delivery most likely.
