Hi - I've been copying our archived media to LTO for several months now, using Canister, without issues. Recently I discovered that one of the LTO tapes is not mounting, and in Canister it only says "Format", with no option to even "Repair" as it is greyed out. Yoyotta also does not recognize the tape as mounted.

We have it on our records that the tape copied 8.9TB successfully, via the transfer logs.

Has anyone had experience with this type of problem? mLogic support says that the index file may have been erased somehow, but don't know how to move forward from there. Any details or guidance helps. Thanks!
