Forced Streaming
Count
The Forced Streaming Count field indicates if the Drive
will rewrite the last block to force streaming instead
of enter underrun mode and stop the tape when waiting
for more data from the Initiator.
A value of zero indicates that the Drive will enter
underrun mode when the Drive's data buffer becomes empty
during the write operation.
A value different from zero indicates that the Drive
will rewrite the last block before entering the underrun
mode. The maximum number of rewrites is specified by the
Forced Streaming Count field. If a track boundary is
encountered, the forced streaming will stop.
