Well, it's hard to check that without cycling through all 5 tapes, which of course causes wear on the changer and leaves it positioned on a different tape than where it started. Also, runtapes is a *maximum*, and many folks set it to something larger than they use for a typical dump, so that they can use extra tapes on particularly heavy days.
