Every now and then someone tries to call a recall from near the end of a tape 'slow', but I think if you do the maths, you fill find there is a heck of a lot of data being read to get to a file near the end of the tape. You do need to make the HSM MOUNTWAITTIME larger than the default, both for this reason and the possibility that the first mount may be for a duplexed pair that is offsite and needs to time out in order for the available tape to be requested. BTW what's 'recall tape takeaway'?
