"what causes a disc to fail?"
One time we ran across a NASA disc that had some files that couldn't be read.
We did some low-level investigation and found that the directory entries for
the files we couldn't read were off the end of the disc. We called the
publisher and after a little while they figured out that they "hadn't loaded
the last tape".
