Abstract

A method and system for adjusting a servo head in a tape drive is disclosed. Position information for the servo head can be obtained and used to determine if an adjustment of one of the servo heads is necessary. By comparing the position of the tape against two servo heads, erroneous adjustments to the servo head can be obviated.
