Data Error Counter: For write operations, this is the number of blocks since the
start of the current write operation re-written because they were detected to be in
error by the READ-WHILE-WRITE check. For read operations, this is the number of
blocks recovered by ECC or read-retry since the tape was last at BOT.
Buffer Overrun / Under-run Counter: For write operations, this is the number of
times that the under-run logic was forced to rewrite a data block in and under-run
condition. (An under-run can occur without tape reposition.) For read operations, this
is the number of times a reposition cycle was required due to buffer overrun.
