ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing the blank spaces resulting from the storage of multiple data blocks on a storage medium. In one embodiment, data is stored on a magnetic tape. Data to be written to the tape is partitioned into user data blocks and management data blocks, the user data blocks being written on the tape sequentially in a longitudinal direction in tracks along the tape, and the management data blocks being written in tracks on the tape sequentially in a longitudinal direction that is opposite the write direction of the user data blocks. Writing the user data and management data in directions that are inversely related allows the amount of wasted storage space to be reduced.
