(buffer underrun) the condition occurring when the rate at which the data written to tape exceeds the rate at which the host system can transfer data to the tape drive controller ... when the buffer is emptied, the tape drive must stop recording, refill the buffer, reposition the write head with respect to the last data written, and resume writing ... this time consuming task reduces overall system data transfer ... see also "overrun"
