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

+Description:

+ reads greater than the block size.
