When a file has been moved entirely to tape (that is, when it is ''virtualized'') it will still appear in the directory listing. If the virtual file is read, it will take some time for the tape to be retrieved from the library and copied back to disk. The process which is trying to read the file will block while this is happening. This may take from less than a minute to over an hour, depending on the size of the file and the demand on the tape system. | When a file has been moved entirely to tape (that is, when it is ''virtualized'') it will still appear in the directory listing.
