Rob,
I recall reading, but don't recall where, that this is related to a
firmware issue in the drive. In any case, it would be adviseable
to check the firmware and bring it to current level:
Here's the Ecrix firmware page:

>I have set up one of my clients with an Ecrix VXA tape drive using the above

>the drive turned on I would get the full 66 Gig capacity. My client has just
>rung me to say that Retrospect is requesting a new tape & a quick inspection
>(over the phone via my client) of the original tape in the scheduled backup
>set revealed that it has used 33 Gig. I will have to go & investigate this
>but could someone who knows please tell me if I need to have software
>compression turned on to get 66 Gig out of the tape or is there something
>else making Retrospect ask for another tape.
>
>The backup set which was due to be used tonight was set A & Retrospect is
>saying that it will call the new tape 2-set A which makes me think it
>probably is full.
>
>Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply
