15Description:
16		Shows the total amount of time spent waiting for all I/O
17                to and from the tape drive to complete. This includes all
18                reads, writes, and other SCSI commands issued to the tape
19                drive. An example of other SCSI commands would be tape
20                movement such as a rewind when a rewind tape device is
21                closed. This item is measured in nanoseconds.
22
23                To determine the amount of time spent waiting for other I/O
24                to complete subtract read_ns and write_ns from this value.

43		Shows the total number of bytes requested from the tape drive.
44		This value is presented in bytes because tape drives support

104Description:
105		Shows the number of times we found that a residual >0
106		was found when the SCSI midlayer indicated that there was
107		an error. For reads this may be a case of someone issuing
108		reads greater than the block size.
