Timing index writes to a tape medium
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for timing index writes to a tape medium of a tape system, the method comprising:
- storing index write timing data that specifies index write timing based on file metadata attributes;
analyzing metadata attributes of a first file to determine whether a first index should be written at a first time based on the index write timing data; and
writing, in response to determining that the first index should be written, the first index to the tape medium at the first time.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for timing index write to a tape medium of a tape system. Index write timing data that specifies index write timing based on file metadata attributes is stored. Metadata attributes of a first file are analyzed to determine whether a first index should be written at a first time based on the index write timing data. In response to determining that an index should be written, the first index is written to the tape medium at the first time.
