[Bacula-users] Bacula marking Tape as full to early

[Andreas H. <ahn...@el...>]

I am having the problem, that my tapes get marked full by bacula after
writing only a few gigabytes.

Log entry:

The tape should have a capacity of at least 100 GB.

Configuration:

Bacula V2.0.0
ADIC Scalar 100 Tapelibrary with 4 LTO1 drives
3 concurrent jobs using 3 drives

I am having this problem on different (used) tapes.
To check the tape I erased one of the erroneous tapes relabeled it and
reused it. Onto this tape I could write 129 GB.

Any hints where to search for the problem?
