In digital storage, a Medium Error is a class of errors that a storage device can experience, which imply that a physical problem was encountered when trying to access the device. The word medium refers to the physical storage layer, the medium on which the data is stored as opposed to errors related to e.g. protocol, device controller driver state, etc. Medium errors are most commonly detected by checking the read data against a checksum itself being most commonly also stored on the same device. The mismatch of data to its supposed checksum is assumed to be caused by the data being corrupted. Locations of medium errors can be either temporary as in the case of bit rot there is no damage to the medium, the data was simply lost , or permanent as in the case of scratching the physical location is unusable from that point onwards . Devices can sometimes recover from medium errors, either by retrying or by managing to reconcile the data with the checksum. If the medium has incurred permanent damage, the device might remap the logical address where the error occurred to a different, undamaged physical location. Medium errors are often associated with long latency for the IOs. This is due to the device retrying and attempting to recover from the error. Examples of conditions that might cause medium errors The head executed a Read request while being improperly aligned, causing it to read data from a wrong physical position. Previous operation of the disk harmed the medium in some manner e.g. scratched it , corrupting data in the location that is now discovered as problematic. External conditions e.g. dust particles physically harmed the medium, or caused the head to harm the medium. A previous Write on a nearby physical location caused the head to corrupt bits in the read location imprecision in the physical write location . This is less likely in media that is mostly read only, such as optical media, unless the writing device is defective. Bit rot, i.e. the gradual, natural ... more details

The medium is the message is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a media communication medium embeds itself in the message , creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.

unreferenced date December 2007 In film , a medium shot is a camera shot from a medium distance. The dividing line between long shot and medium shot is fuzzy, as is the line between medium shot and close up . In some standard texts and professional references, a full length view of a human subject is called a medium shot in this terminology, a shot of the person from the knees up or the waist up is a close up shot. In other texts, these partial views are called medium shots. For example, in Europe a medium shot is framed from the waist up . It is mainly used for a scene when you can see what kind of expressions they are using. There is no evident reason for this variation. It is not a distinction caused by, for example, a difference between TV and film language or 1930s and 1980s language. Medium shots are relatively good in showing facial expressions but work well to show body language.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A linear medium is any medium which is intended to be written to or accessed in a linear fashion, literally meaning in a line . This means that the information is written to or read from the medium in a given order, so for example a book containing a novel is intended to be read from front to back, beginning to end, and is therefore a linear medium. It may be written in the same way, but would not necessarily need to be, to be considered a linear medium. A book containing an encyclopedia however is a non linear medium, as it is not necessary for the articles to be accessed or written in any particular order. Even though both non linear and linear mediums have perimeters to which they are restricted, linear mediums have a set path of how to get from point A to point B, whereas non linear mediums do not.
