Well, clearly there's a kernel bug here.  But that's coming *after*
the taper says it's out of tapes.

Please check the taper debug log to see what it says.  Note that the
taper considers any error from the tape drive to indicate end of tape,
since there is no well-defined error code to expect.  So if it's
getting EIO due to a kernel bug, bad SCSI connections, bad tape drive,
or bad tape, it will consider that an end-of-tape.

Can you write a significant quantity of data to the tapes using dd?
