`Unknown`	The `Unknown` status indicates that the cartridge contents are unknown.
`Unusable`	The `Unusable` status indicates that the tape can't be used. To change the status, remove the tape from the pool by using the ltfsee pool remove command with the -r option. Then, add the tape back into the pool by using the ltfsee pool add command.
`Valid`	The `Valid` status indicates that the cartridge is valid.
`Warning`	The `Warning` status indicates that a read failure occurred on this cartridge. To avoid data loss, move the data from this cartridge onto another cartridge by using the ltfsee reclaim command, then discard this cartridge.
