Thanks Tom! But what if I’m not using Cache-A? If I’m listing the volumes in linux, the metadata.xml file appears to reside on the same partition as the MAIN and AUDIO data. I looked over the Cache-A LTFS file layout and that apears to normal. I’m just questioning it against the spec sheet I was given.

Thank you all for this information. I found this to be such a tremendous help in writing out these tapes! One question though. If I am verifying that the metadata.xml file lives on partition “a” by doing the following:

attr -g ltfs.partition /mnt/tape/ltfs0/metadata.xml
and the return message is “a”

Do I then delete the file from /mnt/tape/ltfs0 after this “validation” in order to comply with Discovery’s tech specs? Because if I don’t, it appears that the xml file resides on the same partition (b) as the data.
