Yes, it will do a read of the entire tape. There is a config file option called amrecover_do_fsf that if set to true will fsf your tape to the correct spot if your drive supports it, which is much faster than a linear read. I do have that set, and the drive finished up in about 1 hour. It

Hints on using amverify

I would like to use amverify to make sure that data written to tape is also readable. Could anybody clarify the following issues: 1) What kind of errors can amverify detect? 2) What kind of errors *cannot* amverify detect? 3) Does it make sense to schedule amverify after amdump every day? 4)
