I'm having some seemingly elementary errors that I don't quite understand.
Using Solaris 2.7, Amanda 2.4.1p1, Sun StorEdge DDS-3 changer on an E450.

A DDS-3 tape should hold 12GB, compressed, right? It looks like "taper"
dies after 10GB. Does the TAPE-ERROR/short write mean the tape is bad? If
the tape was more full, I wouldn't be suspicious; but it seems like I
should be getting more space out of 125m.
How accurate is the size specification of the tape?
