Error description
The documentation for the Media Access Status field in the query session f=d output states that this field "Specifies the type of media wait state. This information is only provided when the session state equals MediaW......." However information is also displayed in this field when the session state is something other than MediaW. Additionally the time value that is displayed in this field (which is not documented) appears to be reset based upon some event associated with the media event status processing. The time in seconds can be see increasing then being reset to back to zero while the same volume is still mounted and being accessed. The code and documentation need to be updated to accurately reflect the original design intent of what this field was supposed to provide to the user/administrator.
