I'm curious about people's retry rates on a Exabyte on a Sun 4/490.  I
tried three tapes and got the following numbers for a daily dump of around
150Mb:

Sony P6-120MP: 420 (Tape is about 3 months old, tenth use)
Maxell HS-8/112: 192 (tape is brand new, 1st use)
Exabyte-112: 222    ( tape is 6 months old, 5th use)

These seem high. Should I get Sun to come out and look at it? Thanks.
