Embodiments of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods involving a tape drive apparatus. Briefly described, in architecture, one embodiment of a tape drive apparatus, among others, can be implemented as follows. The tape drive apparatus comprises an interface for coupling at least first and second requesters to the tape drive apparatus, the interface being adapted to receive media control requests from the requestors and identifiers of the requesters; and logic circuitry for generating log entries and writing the log entries to a log. Each log entry indicates at least a type of one of the media control requests and the identifier of the respective requestor, the logic circuitry being adapted for identification of potentially conflicting ones of the media control requests received from different ones of the at least first and second requestors. Other apparatuses and methods are also included.
