affects

host

reporting

of

density

and

is

included

to

support

legacy

needs

for

transparency.

The

default

of

not

masking

encrypted

densities

means

that

the

host

can

see

a

different

density

code

for

encrypted

vs

non-encrypted

tapes

(x72

[enc]

as

opposed

to

x52

[non-enc]).

This

feature

masks

this

so

the

drive

reports

the

primary

density

only.

Normally

this

is

set

to

the

drive

default

(which

is

to

show

encr

density).

If

a

legacy

setup

will

not

work

with

a

new

density

code

being

reported

[for

whatever

software

reason]

this

will

allow

to

still

be

used.

Although
