Well, today for the first time I hit EOT. I'm using a Sony SDX-300C
AIT-1 drive. Here's the tapetype I've been using and the error messages
as produced by amreport:
define tapetype AIT1-35 {
comment "AIT-1 with 230m tapes (35/70 GB)"
length 33000 mbytes
filemark 500 kbytes
speed 3000 mbytes
}

These dumps were to tape Daily06.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Daily07.

Any recommendations on how to change my tapetype definition to avoid
this problem? And yes, I've got hardware compression disabled.
