Entities Written/Read: The total number of complete entities written to or read from the tape since the last power-on
or Clear Log operation.
Records Written/Read: The total number of records (both compressed and uncompressed) written to or read from
the tape since the last power-on or Clear Log operation.
Kilobytes to/from Data Compression: The total number of kilobytes written to or read from the tape since the last
power-on or Clear Log operation. For Kilobytes from Data Compression, this number may be greater than the
number of kilobytes transferred to the host due to read ahead.
Logical Entity Size: The logical size of the last entity written to or read from the tape: size = number of record in
entity × record size in bytes
Physical Entity Size: The physical size of the last entity written to or read from the tape: size = entity header length
+ uncompressed data length
Uncompressed Entities: The total number of times non-ALDC entities have been encountered on the tape during
read operations since the last power-on or Clear Log operation.
