User-defined data in an unused region of data storage media |
摘要 |
A storage device controller that records user data in a plurality of equal-sized partitions in parallel linear tracks and records tape format information in a protected region at one end of a track and thereby defines an unused area across all the remaining storage media tracks in which user data is not recorded, provides a user accessible supplemental storage area by storing user data in one or more of the unused areas. <IMAGE> |
