Abstract
A computer-implemented method for altering a current position in a Data Partition of a tape at which the tape transitions to a DATA_FULL state is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes determining a size of a last Index appended to the Data Partition of the tape. The computer-implemented method further includes altering, based on the size of the last Index appended to the Data Partition of the tape, the current position in the Data Partition of the tape at which the tape transitions to DATA_FULL state to a new position in the DATA Partition of the tape at which the tape transitions to the DATA_FULL state, wherein the DATA_FULL state is a state on the tape in which only metadata write operations are permitted in the Data Partition.
