Hi, I have an IBM 3582 with two fiber connected LTO2 drives and I use both LTO1 and LTO2 tapes. I don't see this problem at all, never did. I started at TSM 5.2.2.0. Of course, the first LTO2 tape will be marked full, once the write continues on the 2nd etc. Would have to be an i/o error (bad blocks) or real fast expiry going on to drop to 15% FULL that quickly.
Check your firmware of drives & library? I'm on Redhat ES 2.1 kernel 27 with TSM 5.2.2.5.

Archiving on LTO2 (in an IBM 3584) and when the tape is full a second tape is assigned an the last file of the archive is written on that tape. Right after that the tape gets the status full, nevertheless that there is only around 15GB of data on it. Using LTO1 tapes with the same operation (on the same drives in the same library) works fine. The server is a RH Linux 3.0 AS with TSM 5.2.2.0. Can anyone tell if this is normal behaviour or if there is a fix for this? Regards, Richard.
