Abstract
A magnetic tape drive is used for a magnetic tape cartridge including a magnetic tape and a storage medium. Geometrical characteristic information is stored in the storage medium. The geometrical characteristic information is recorded on the magnetic tape. A processor of a magnetic tape drive erases first geometrical characteristic information from the storage medium to leave second geometrical characteristic information in the storage medium. The second geometrical characteristic information is geometrical characteristic information capable of specifying a recording position in the magnetic tape at which the geometrical characteristic information is recorded. The first geometrical characteristic information is geometrical characteristic information other than the second geometrical characteristic information.
