This is not something a user process should be able to do, ever. If
the system hangs, you've got a problem with the kernel of the OS, more
likely in the SCSI tape driver. You'll have to reset the machine and
start over, and hope for the best. But if the system hangs while
writing garbage to the tape to test its length, there's no reason to
have much hope that it won't hang while writing your backups too.
