Tapeutil errors

If tapeutil is running and an error condition is detected, an error message is displayed. The error sense
data has the format that is seen in Figure 18 on page 56. The errno, or error number, is explained in
Table 42 on page 57. Use Table 24 on page 43 to translate the hexadecimal information to ASCII values.
Read/Write test terminated, total bytes written 0
Operation failed with errno 5: I/O error
