A computer program product for writing a servo track includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a computer. The program instructions cause the computer to monitor a lateral position of a magnetic tape passing over a servo writing head during a servo track writing operation and write servo marks to the magnetic tape. A timing of the writing of each mark is based on the monitored position of the magnetic tape.
