Abstract
A method of aligning a magnetic read/write head to data tracks on a magnetic surface of a digital linear tape. The method includes writing a signal over a track of optical servo marks located on the magnetic surface of the tape with a servo channel writer, generating a position error signal from read back signals obtained from a servo channel reader and positioning the magnetic read/write head in accordance with the position error signal.
