That does not sound like very useful advise to me.

I interpret it as "If you are using disk drive with removable media, you
should always put the old disk pack on the shelf and format a new pack when
you have problems".  Ever since we got rid of the RP06, none of our Unix
systems have removable disks.  Keeping a spare 1.2 gigabyte drive on each
and every host is not feasible.
