Hi,

First thank for the fast reply =)
I made all tests possible with tar & mt and it was never the the same issue but random R/W errors
I finaly get out of this changing the SCSI Terminator.
Finaly all is up & running

| Obviously, that's not impossible.

| a bit odd.
| 
| Can you retry a btape test on one of the tapes that are unusable at 
| the first write?
| 
| Also, a tapeinfo output after one of those failures, before you 
| unmount the tape or even load another one might be interesting.
| 
| Apart from that, I can only recommend to run tests with dd and tar 
| also, to see if they work correctly. If they do, and btape's test and 
| fill do, and Bacula still has problems, and nothing is in the system 
| log and the tapealerts, I'd contact Quantum...
